Mr Short said the defendant was a plumber and gas engineer and that business would suffer if he went into custody. When he was arrested he told police the victim had been harassing the pensioner neighbour - which the victim denied. It then resulted in Newcomb taking the matters into his own hands. The defendant's uncle, who lives on the same street, was said to have witnessed the alleged bad behaviour and told Newcomb about it. It was reported to both the council and police in April 2020.Ī police community support worker made visits to the pensioner to monitor the situation, a letter to the court from the pensioner said. He explained it involved verbal comments, bullying and throwing items into the pensioner's garden. Gary Short, mitigating, said there had been previous incidents of anti-social behaviour by the victim towards an 85-year-old woman neighbour and her disabled son, in his 50's. Newcomb, of Aylestone, Leicester, admitted dangerous driving and causing actual bodily harm. The victim has since moved "for the sake of his wellbeing", the prosecutor said. He stated: "Every time I see I white van, I panic." In a personal impact statement, he said he was "battered and bruised" with painful shoulders and had struggled psychologically, having later been diagnosed with post-traumatic stress disorder. The victim suffered cuts, bruising, burst blood vessels in his left eye and a chest injury, but did not require hospital treatment. Newcomb left the scene in his van, but was traced through his registration number that was noted by a witness. Ms Bakshi said: "The defendant got out and grabbed the victim, pushing him against a car causing him to bang his head on it." The van also caused more than £2,000 worth of damage when it struck a front garden wall and a vehicle in a driveway. ![]()
