This is the shocking moment Labour MP Mike Amesbury punched a male constituent and hit him repeatedly while he lay on the ground. He had yesterday claimed he was 'threatened' before the attack at 2.15am on Saturday morning in his constituentcy of Runcorn and Helsby, Cheshire. But CCTV footage exclusively obtained by the Mail shows him launching a punch seemingly without physical provocation and then continuing to hit the man six times while he lay on the ground
