Footage of Oscar winner Dustin Lance Black being assaulted by a BBC presenter in a Soho bar spat has been released for the first time.Black was punched to the back of the head by social media influencer Teddy Edwardes when a late-night dispute at the Freedom bar in August last year turned ugly.The US screenwriter husband of Olympic diver Tom Daley was the victim of the attack, but was then put on trial himself over an allegation he had grabbed and twisted Ms Edwardes’ wrist – spilling her drink - in the moments before the punch.CCTV of the incident has now been released, after Black was cleared of assault at Westminster magistrates court with a judge branded the case against him as “weak” and concluding that Ms Edwardes had lied about the incident.The footage shows Black in a heated discussion with Ms Edwardes, with Daley attempting to diffuse the row.
