Two men are to face jury trial accused of brandishing a spinning angle grinder at a man’s head in an alleged £10,000 extortion bid.
Dylan Armstrong, 20, and William Armstrong, 39, are said to have seized their alleged victim, dragged him, pushed him, plugged in an angle grinder, turned it on, and then brandished it at his head while it was running and walked towards him, forcing him back into a corner.
It is alleged they then brandished secateurs towards the man, seized him, attempted to prise his fingers open, threatened him with violence and “by these means” they demanded he gave them £10,000.
