An Enfield Councillor has been suspended from the Labour party after allegedly striking a man during an altercation.

Councillor for Haselbury Ward, Haydar Ulus, was suspended after a video, seen by the Enfield Independent, shows a man throwing three punches.

The video reveals what appears to be an argument before the incident takes place.

A spokesman for London Labour Party said:"An Enfield councillor involved in a police investigation has been suspended by the Labour Party.

"Cllr Haydar Ulus who was elected to Enfield Borough Council earlier this year is the subject of an immediate administrative suspension barring him from representing the Labour Party pending the outcome of the police investigation.

"It would not be appropriate to comment further at this stage."

An Enfield Council spokesperson said: “Enfield Council understands that legal proceedings are active in relation to this matter. We cannot comment further at this time.”
