A Bournemouth chip shop manager accused of pouring hot oil over a customer says he was just trying to defend himself.

Yuksel Hacipasaoglu was arrested on suspicion of inflicting grievous bodily harm over the incident at The Chippy on Old Chirstchurch Road at the weekend.

He claims 'three huge guys' were throwing objects around the shop, and he picked up the oil to scare them, after which he was punched and dropped it.
