A MAN has been charged with assault in connection with an attack on a woman in a wheelchair in Nuneaton.
A video was recently shared on social media showing the alleged assault in Prince’s Street, which is reported to have taken place on January 17.
A suspect was identified and arrested yesterday (Tuesday January 21) following an investigation.
Following this, Michael Yeatman, 37 of Gilfil Road in Nuneaton, has been charged with assault by beating.
He will appear at Warwickshire Magistrates Court for his first hearing on February 21.
PC Tom Shorthouse said: “If you witness a crime, for example an assault, we will always take it seriously and investigate thoroughly as soon as it is reported to us.
“People in our communities have the right to feel safe when they are on our streets, and we will take robust action where necessary to preserve this.”
