A gran was left in fear for her life after being charged at by a hammer-wielding neighbour of her son over her request to share the cost of a broken fence.
Yvonne Crews, 64, drove to her son's home in Shiremoor, North Tyneside, on May 9 2020 around lunchtime with her sister to deliver a birthday card. When she got there, her granddaughter answered the door and was handed the card and as this was happening, a dog ran out, which the Mrs Crews managed to grab.
She noticed a garden fence was broken and suggested to her daughter-in-law that they should ask the neighbour to pay half of the cost to fix it. The grandmother walked to the neighbour's home, where Grant Hayward was living at the time with his partner, who answered the door.
