A son attacked his mother's 74-year-old neighbour after banging on the door and pushing him on a sofa where he repeatedly punched him. It left the victim with snapped tendons to his arm and severe bruising.
Michael Wallace, 50, assaulted Graham Newling at his Newport home after he complained about his attacker's mother spraying water on him in his garden. He barged into his home uninvited and told Mr Newling: "I'll f****** come for you".
A sentencing hearing at Cardiff Crown Court on Thursday heard Wallace's mother had complained the victim had "exchanged words" with her but had made no threats of violence. But at 10am on June 14 the defendant turned up and left his car in the road before banging on the door.
