North Shields man had GS gas in stolen Audi while ushering 'stabbed man' to hospital

A man who was a passenger in a stolen Audi and was ushering an acquaintance to hospital after he'd been stabbed has been dealt with at court.

Mark Brown was a backseat passenger in a car that had been taken without the owner's consent when it was seen driving dangerously on April 16, 2020. The 31-year-old and another man - who had been stabbed that morning - were picked up in the Audi A4 before witnesses saw it hitting speeds of up to 120mph.

When the occupants of the car were finally arrested, Brown was found in possession of a CS gas cannister, which he claimed to have found in a field and was keeping for protection.
