Yeah I don't blame you @stonecolddeanaustin, I promise I only saw it as Michael Vaughan and Sir Ian Botham retweeted them:
1 - I'm hearing that Ben Stokes intervened to help two gay guys who were being abused by yobs, one of whom was armed with a bottle.
2 - Stokes has told friends he was incensed by the homophobic taunts, then saw the bottle being raised & decided to defend himself.
3 - Stokes obviously regrets what happened but apparently his view is: "The started it, I finished it. I was protecting those guys."
4 - Police are aware of Stokes' version of events & are now trying to find the two gay men, to corroborate what he's said.
5 - Stokes has told friends: "The guy had a bottle in his hand and was threatening us, was I supposed to wait until he smashed it in my face?"
Cheers mate!
