Amesbury, 55, admitted the charge after punching a man to the ground on a night out in Frodsham, Cheshire. The MP for Runcorn and Helsby, Mike Amesbury, has been sentenced to 10 weeks in prison for punching a man to the ground. Amesbury, who was suspended by the Labour party after an investigation, last month admitted a single charge of section 39 assault in relation to the incident after a night out in his constituency.
Police interviewed the 55-year-old after footage of the incident, which took place on Main Street in Frodsham, Cheshire, in the early hours of 26 October last year, was published by MailOnline. The video, taken from a CCTV camera, showed Amesbury hitting his victim, 45-year-old Paul Fellows, in the face, knocking him to the ground.
