A man says a gang told him he'd have to pay them "protection money" to continue living on a derelict estate or his house will be burned down.
Khaled Baleid, 59, who lives on Primrose Court in Huyton, Merseyside, was also left with a broken nose and two black eyes after being attacked in his driveway with a metal pole.
As reported by the Liverpool Echo, he is one of many residents on the troubled estate scared to go out after dealing with daily threats of violence and racial abuse.
