The man who gave England's rugby captain a telling off on YouTube has been arrested for assault.

Jonathan Dixon was accused of leaking CCTV footage of Mike Tindall canoodling with an ex-girlfriend at a nightclub in Queenstown.

He's now been facing a charge of wounding with reckless disregard, causing grievous bodily harm.

It follows an incident at a Queenstown bar, which has left a man in an induced coma for the past week.

Dixon is due to appear in Queenstown District Court on Monday.
