Senior London Tory Brian Coleman has been charged with “assault by beating” following an incident in North Finchley last month.

Coleman is accused of assaulting the owner of Cafe Buzz Helen Michael on 20th September.

He is also facing a related charge of “driving a mechanically propelled vehicle on a public place without reasonable consideration. “

He will appear before Hendon Magistrates Court on November 5th.

Brian Coleman is the former Chairman of the London Fire Authority and a former Conservative London Assembly Member.

He lost his seat on the Assembly in May following a vigorous local campaign by activists including Helen Michael.
