He said that as he was about to return to his flat, Arliss came running towards him and punched him in the mouth, causing two of his teeth to fall out from his top row, and also causing an injury to his bottom lip, causing 'considerable pain and discomfort'.
Mr Clare said that when interviewed by the police, Arliss said she had known Mr Rose for several years and thought he was 'nasty'.
She also alleged he had made 'comments about her' and that she 'saw red' and punched him once in the mouth, which she now regretted.
