Legal question

He says he had a load of abuse and jeers as him and a friend were dragging his wife down the corridoor.
They came outside, still dragging her, and I called her a "slut" or "slag".... So he says.

Why on earth would I call someone that ****ed a slut or slag? Totally wrong context, wrong word, wrong usage, and a bit low.

Sure I can see me saying something like "shes absolutly sh*tfaced", or "shes off her pickle/wasted" etc, but I certainly wouldn't have said what he said I shouted out. (I also wouldn't have shouted it out either).

He came over already in a mood from the other jeers and pushed me over. He claims I got up and looked "threatening and like i was going to hit him." This is more BS.

Firstly, I had no idea why he's pushed me over, i'd have got up and said something like "what the f*** do you think your doing" but I don't just lash out with punches? Im not a thug or an animal, i'll leave that to the chavs. Ironically everyone thats been told has said that that doesn't sound like how i'd act.

So as I got up, he just lashed out in punches. He claims to have hit me once or twice. Even though I got up, got knocked down again, got up again, girl jumped in between us to stop him, and him carrying on hitting me and knocking me out. Witnesses have stated I didn't shout anything out, didn't throw punches, nor acted in any aggressive manner. I literally got up, took the punches, got up again and held my arms out to stop him hitting me, which obviously didn't work.

Its on CCTV, and its why the police are so keen to charge him as it was so un-provoked.

tbh, even if I had shouted out, I know I wouldn't have, but even if I did, it doesn't warrant the result.

The sheer fact he ran off, then had the cheek to come back (its a Hilton hotel) and start drinking again, even after dumping his wife off, shows his character. Police won't tell me if he has, but the officer hinted he already has a record where as im a good boy, never been in trouble and another reason they want to do him.

Think my MD of my company wants to take business legal action out too, but thats just hearsay over a phonecall to my boss. Im yet to find out more about this. Still waiting for the police to get back to me with some more details though.
