The MP for Runcorn and Helsby says: “You won’t ever threaten me again will you?
“You won’t ever threaten me again.”
When someone in the background points out Mr Amesbury is the local MP, he says: “Yes I am. You won’t threaten the MP ever again, will you?”
Mr Amesbury said: “Last night, I was involved in an incident that took place after I felt threatened on the street following an evening out with friends.
“This morning, I contacted Cheshire Police myself to report what happened during this incident.
“I will not be making further public comment but will, of course, cooperate with any inquiries if required by Cheshire Police.
“I remain fully committed to working hard for the people of Runcorn and Helsby, and am determined to remain an open and accessible MP for our community.”
The Labour Party said: “We are aware of an incident that took place last night.
“We understand that Mike Amesbury MP approached Cheshire Police to report what happened this morning himself and that he will cooperate with any inquiries they have.”
Cops have confirmed they are now probing the incident.
Cheshire Constabulary said: “At 2.48am on Saturday 26 October, police were called to reports of an assault in Frodsham.
“A caller reported he had been assaulted by a man in Main Street. Enquiries are ongoing.”

MARKS and Spencer is kitting its changing rooms out with self-checkouts to prevent shoppers from having to queue twice.
The high-street giant is planning to roll-out self-service tills in 180 of its clothing stores by early 2028.

It comes despite warnings from M&S chairman Archie Norman that theft is “creeping” among middle-class shoppers due to faulty self-checkouts.
The retailer’s operations director Sacha Berendji insisted staff will be present in fitting areas to make sure customers don’t leave without paying for their items.
He told The Telegraph: “We’d like customers to be able to walk straight into the fitting room with no queue, try on what they’ve chosen, then pay there and just walk out…”
He added: “Shoplifting is a major problem in this country, but there are things that we’re all doing to mitigate some of those losses.”
The new kiosks have already been introduced in 28 recently revamped stores.
Similar such is used elsewhere in the world, including Australia.
Department store Kmart Southland in Melbourne is trialling technology which identifies clothes taken into a fitting room and displays them on a screen, reports the Sidney Morning Herald.
Customers can then scan a QR code for the details and the price.
It also allows customers to request different sizes or colours from their changing cubicle.
Over the last 18 months, M&S has opened 31 new stores, while also spending tens of millions of pounds refurbishing 45 existing in London and the South West.
Larger self-service conveyor belt checkouts operated by staff will also have self-scanning tech for trolley shops.
The Fosse Park store has already seen four of its 10 staff-operated conveyor belt checkouts replaced with six new self-service versions.
All across the high street, self-checkout stations are being installed at retail shops, with Marks & Spencer, Primark and Zara some of the earliest adopters, The Telegraph reported previously.
That’s despite supermarkets, including Waitrose, Morrisons and Asda, reigning in their usage.
In the US, self-service checkouts are removing them at Target stores amid shoplifting concerns.
