Labour MP Mike Amesbury has been accused of "smacking" a constituent to the floor after being "threatened" in a late-night taxi rank row.

Amesbury, who was first elected to the House of Commons in 2017, suggested he responded in an act of self-defence.

Footage of the aftermath of the incident circulated on social media, with Amesbury standing pointing his finger at a man in a fiery tirade.

In the recording, the 55-year-old said: "You won't ever threaten your MP ever again, will you?"
