A playground supervisor threatened to break a young boy's neck after the boy kicked an apple and refused to pick it up, a court heard.
Andrew Griffiths grabbed the 13-year-old boy by the neck, pulling his tie and jumper while he tried to make him pick up pieces of an apple he had just kicked.
The 58-year-old, of Malvern, Worcestershire, was litter picking in the playground of The Chase School when the assault happened.
