    Professional musician Jimmy Mason has been charged with two counts of assaulting a child after an incident on the Bridge of Remembrance in central Christchurch last month.

    The 49-year-old Christchurch man admitted to flicking his son’s ear to reprimand him for riding dangerously near a busy street on December 19 when he spoke to The Press in an article on January 14, in which he complained about the way the incident was handled by the police.

    Inspector Gary Knowles, the central city area commander, said that charges arose as a result of a review of the evidence after speaking to a number of witnesses.

    Knowles said now the matter is before the court, no further comment would be made.

    Mason has been summonsed to appear in the Christchurch District Court on 12 February 2008.
