Video footage obtained by ITV News shows Mills, 37, furiously grabbing the cameraman’s equipment before picking it up from the floor and throwing it into the road. PA news agency photographer James Manning said: ‘He came out of the court, I was taking his picture, just standing still on the corner.‘He then pushed my camera into my face, which then caused it to fall to the floor, at which point he then picked it up and then threw it across the road.‘It smashed into a lot of pieces.’ Manning added: ‘He was angry, he came straight out of the door, didn’t say anything, didn’t say anything until the point at which he pushed my camera.‘I think he said something like “get away” or “get out of my face” or something along those lines.‘After that he just walked off and I didn’t chase after him or anything like that.’ Mills had previously denied all allegations against him regarding the assault.
