Assault Charge
Coleman was arrested for assault for an incident that took place on 20 September 2012. Helen Michael, a café owner in North Finchley who had actively opposed his policy on parking charges, saw him park his car in a loading bay opposite her café. She claimed that she was filming him on her mobile phone when he noticed her and attempted to grab the camera. A policeman intervened and Coleman then jumped into his car and attempted to drive off with both doors open, hitting a truck before speeding off. Coleman was charged with assault by beating and driving on a road without reasonable consideration. Coleman pleaded not guilty to the charges of assault by beating and careless driving at Uxbridge Magistrates' Court on November 5. (See http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-london-20204583)
