He told me he was arrested due to false allegation of violence from ex partner. Said was released without charge. No way of finding out other side of story.
Would you continue relationship and hope for best or pull out? Early in relationship.

Statistically I think it’s more likely that he was violent to his ex than the other way round so I’d probably just give it a swerve at this point, as it’s such early days anyway.

I would run a mile. Please consider a Clare’s Law application if you decide to keep on seeing him.

Highly sceptical. 'False allegation' indeed.

He’s coming out with all the classic lines imo. There’s absolutely no way I would continue this relationship.

Check him out, Clare’s law will tell you if you should be concerned, especially important if you have children,

He said it was her in fact who was violent due to an addiction and he was trying to get her off him (self defence)

You can seek a Claire’s law disclosure which will inform of any concerning information OP?
