Arrested on Suspicion of Assault
I have been arrested on suspicion of assault after my neighbour told the police that I punched him during a confrontation when I did not do such a thing. I have been bailed for a week pending further inquries. I have never gotten in trouble with the police before and this was the first ever time. The person who has made the alligation of assault is a 14 year old youth who has been causing problems in the neigbourhood for some time with anti-social behaviour. The problem is that there was no witnesses and also he has admitted that he pushed me (which I now have found out can be classed as assault) and did make a compaint about it on the day it occured but it seems the police ignored my complaint and have dealt with his leading to my arrest. What kind of out come can occure in this situation.. will this lead to me going to court on his words that I punched him when I have said that it is not true?
