[The actor could face a five-year prison term
if he is found guilty.

Mr Birkby, defending the actor previously,
said the case has attracted 'substantial interest',
stressing the importance of Tompkinson's
right to a fair trial.

Mr Birkby added: 'It is important for everyone to note,
he has pleaded not guilty and the issue to
be tried is one of self defence.'

Following his plea hearing in September last year,
Tompkinson was granted conditional bail.

At the hearing, the actor confirmed he understood
what had been said and thanked the court
at its conclusion.]

He phoned the Police
about 2 Drunk men
outside his home.

Police did not help him.

ITV1HDLunch News gave us the better update

One of the Drunk Men went towards
him - all he did was push him backwards
he banged his head on the kerb



If that is the case
I say he is Not Guilty of GBH
