A pensioner pulled an imitation gun on his neighbour in a bizarre incident at a sheltered housing complex. Anthony Law, 73, knocked on his neighbour's door while holding a realistic-looking black 'handgun'.
"F****** put the lights on," Law said after the neighbour opened up, before pointing the 'gun' at him. After a brief struggle, he shut the door and Law walked off.
Manchester Crown Court heard Law had been 'very distressed' that the electricity had not been working in his flat, and mistakenly believed that his neighbour who lived in the floor below was an electrician. The pair were neighbours in sheltered accommodation on Oswald Close in Salford, but had never met before.
