Best man ‘flasher’ denies assault

A DRUNKEN barrister accused of exposing himself to bridesmaids before battering a guest at a wedding in North Yorkshire told his victim he would “seriously beat him up”, a court heard yesterday.

Best man Christopher Dunn, 40, so offended guests at the country hotel reception that David Baird-Dean stepped in to drag him away.

Mr Dunn was threatened with police being called but guests relented when he offered an abject apology and claimed that as a barrister he would be in trouble if arrested, Preston Crown Court heard.
