UK: Melanie Sykes arrested after assault

Story here. Excerpt:

'Melanie Sykes[1] has been arrested and cautioned by police after assaulting her husband, Jack Cockings.

The 43-year-old TV presenter was taken to a police station following the incident at their North London apartment, but she was later released.

Earlier this year we were shocked when news broke that 22-year-old actress, Emma Roberts[2], was also arrested for domestic violence. The star was turned over to police in Vancouver on 7 July after a fight with boyfriend Evan Peters turned nasty.
...
According to men's rights campaign group Parity, male victims of assault are ignored by police, have fewer refuges to flee too and often have to watch their attacker go free.

Campaigner John Mays, revealed, "Male victims are almost invisible to the authorities such as the police, who rarely can be prevailed upon to take the man's side. Their plight is largely overlooked by the media, in official reports and in government policy, for example in the provision of refuge places – 7,500 for females in England and Wales but only 60 for men."'
