A father has revealed how a group of balaclava-wearing thugs bricked his car and called him a paedophile in front of his young son. Kevin Marshall, 42, was taking his son to visit his mum on the Beechwood estate in Birkenhead, Merseyside, when a group of teenagers reportedly started shouting "disgusting" abuse at him.
Kevin, from Gateacre, claims the teenagers called him a "paedophile" and "threatened to rape" his son's mum before the suspects, who Kevin described as aged between 13 and 16, proceeded to throw bricks at his car as he drove off. The dad-of-one said the incident has seen his car written off but told the Liverpool Echo: "Things could have been much worse".
He said: "The gang were all mouthing off and their language was disgusting. As I started to drive off, the car was pelted with bricks and we were slandered even more.
