A furious dad asked ‘pretty much anyone’ for a fight before attacking a passer-by and leaving him with a broken nose. Paul Gresty, 45, could be heard screaming and shouting by his next-door neighbour whilst smashing up items within his flat.
Around 30 minutes later, on July 26 of last year, he was heard shouting at one of his upstairs neighbours telling him to ‘stay out of his business’, Minshull Street Crown Court heard. He then began asking ‘pretty much anyone for a fight’, John Richards, prosecuting said.
Gresty, of Oldham, continued asking around for a fight, before the victim walked past and ‘foolishly’ accepted his offer.
