BOMBSHELL HOLYROOD CLAIM: Douglas Ross accuses SNP MSP of ASSAULTING him

Conservative MSP Douglas Ross has said he is speaking to parliamentary police after alleging he was assaulted by a Scottish Government minister. Speaking in the Scottish Parliament on Thursday, Mr Ross said he was “physically assaulted and verbally abused” by parliamentary business minister Jamie Hepburn when leaving the chamber the previous day. Mr Ross is now calling for Mr Hepburn to be sacked and said he will be reporting the incident to police. He said: “Last night when I met with the (Parliament’s) chief executive, I asked for the next steps and he rightly said we take time to look into this. “He responded very quickly this morning that the next steps is for me to speak to the parliamentary police, which I’ve arranged to do this afternoon.” Mr Ross claims he was “grabbed” and “held on to” during the incident. http://www.theScottishsun.co.uk   / thescottishsun     / scottishsun   Contents of video: - 00:00 - Conor Matchett 03:10 - Ross Ross aqusation 04:23 - Conor Matchett 05:03 - Ross speaks to press 09:55 - Jamie Hepburn 14:19 - The disagreement END #politics #snp #news #scotland #fmqs #douglasRoss #fmqs
