Eubank charged over beer lorry

Former boxer Chris Eubank has been charged with aggravated taking of a vehicle and driving away, police said today.

The 38-year-old ex-world middleweight champion, who has an HGV licence, is accused of moving a beer lorry which was allegedly blocking a Brighton road, a Sussex Police spokeswoman said.

He was questioned by officers last month over the alleged incident and charged with the offence on Sunday.

Eubank is due to appear at Brighton Magistrates’ Court tomorrow morning.
