A Gateshead nightmare neighbour threatened to cut a man's legs off while holding an improvised "scythe" during a heated row.
William Simpson was seen arguing with the man by fellow neighbours inside a block of flats in St Cuthbert's Court, Gateshead, on April 27, this year. The 51-year-old was seen holding a large wooden stick with a curved metal end during the row and caused damage to a lift by jamming it.
Simpson was heard dishing out violent threats and telling neighbours they could "all watch". He was eventually arrested after a police officer arrived and pointed a Taser at him.
