A couple were subjected to vile racist abuse during an attack by their neighbour.
Jordan Glaister was the upstairs neighbour of the couple at the time in Prudhoe, Northumberland, and they said they'd had ongoing problems with him in the lead up to the assault. Glaister, who has since been diagnosed with paranoid schizophrenia, claimed they had been noisy.
Newcastle Crown Court heard that around 11.30am on September 18 2021, the male victim went to help a neighbour carrying a sofa and a short time later heard his wife shouting for him to go home. Glaister was "hanging out of his window" shouting abuse at the woman and laughing.
