Man smashed neighbour's door with sledgehammer when parking row got out of hand

A man ended up in court after a parking row with a neighbour got out of hand. Matthew Fox left Bruce and Lynn High terrified when he tried to violently smash his way through their front door in the early hours of the morning while drunk, a court heard.

As he tried to smash his way in on July 3 last year, he was heard shouting "I'm going to kill you" and saying to Mr High's son "tell your dad I'm going to kill him". The court was told that they had been neighbours for some time, but didn't know each other well.

Prosecuting, Philip Holden explained that Fox, 31, worked as a mobile mechanic and would regularly park his work van outside the High's home, reports Lancs Live. The problems began when they decided to put their home up for sale.
