Fuming Labour MP Mike Amesbury was seen having a row with a bloke who appeared dazed shouting “you won’t threaten” an MP again.
The shocking footage emerged as police confirmed they were looking into reports of an assault as bystanders claimed the politician was ‘smacking someone on the floor’.
The footage captures the ex-shadow minister looming over a fella sprawled on the ground, jabbing a finger and bellowing: “You won’t ever threaten me again.”
As Amesbury struts off, a bystander pipes up noting he’s Runcorn’s MP and chides the politcian who roars back: “Yes I am, and you won’t threaten the MP ever again, will you? “
