KEY POINTS:
It has emerged a Christchurch man who says he was charged after flicking his son's ear is accused of assaulting both of his children.
Last month Jimmy Mason went public with his claims he was harassed by the police when he was spotted disciplining his son.
Police initially warned him, but later charged him with two counts of assault. In court this morning it was revealed the charges are in relation to both his sons, who are aged two and four.
Mason will appear in court on February 26.
