A raging man swung a meat cleaver at his neighbours after a row over noise escalated.
Paul Duckworth, 55, armed himself with the butcher's knife before going to confront a group of young people who occupied a flat in the same shared building in Hampton Road, Southport.
Matters quickly escalated and resulted in Duckworth injuring a teenage boy and girl. Today (Friday) he appeared at Liverpool Crown Court to be sentenced after pleading guilty to two charges of assault occasioning actual bodily harm, and another charge of common assault.
