An innocent mum heard a crack and fell to the ground after she was hit hard with a baseball bat on her neck, a court heard. The woman could not walk properly and had blood all over her top after the unprovoked attack in Withern Road, on the Broxtowe Estate.
The incident had been because of "problems amongst children", said Nirmal Shant KC on Wednesday (May 10) at Nottingham Crown Court. She said it should have stayed "amongst children" - rather than offenders Christopher Taylor and Scott Newbold turning up with baseball bats.
The victim had been at home when one of her sons arrived in a panic and asked his mum to open the door. She saw vehicle on the road nearby, with Taylor, Newbold and a youth stood by it.
