Labour MP and whip Mike Amesbury has been suspended by the party after CCTV emerged of him sucker-punching a constituent and beating him as he lay on the ground.
The shocking footage, obtained by the Daily Mail, shows the Runcorn and Helsby MP in conversation with the man before he suddenly lashes out.
A different video circulating on X, formerly Twitter, showed Amesbury shouting and swearing at the male.
Cheshire Police confirmed a 55-year-old man had been voluntarily interviewed under caution and had been released pending further inquiries.
In the wake of the incident, a Labour spokesman said: “Mike Amesbury MP has been assisting Cheshire Police with their inquiries following an incident on Friday night.
"As these inquiries are now ongoing, the Labour Party has administratively suspended Mr Amesbury’s membership of the Labour Party pending an investigation.”
He has also lost the Labour whip in the House of Commons.
IN one of the videos, Amesbury can be heard to shout: "You won't threaten the MP ever again, will you?"
