Fed-up inhabitants of a troubled tower block claimed they were subjected to brutal attacks, and witnessed people having sex in bin stores just metres away from their home.
Ascot Court in Birmingham has been plagued by "non-stop" anti-social and violent behaviour for years, according to residents. One man reported having his teeth knocked out in a shocking unprovoked attack, as he was repeatedly struck with a metal bar.
A graphic image showed the resident's front teeth set back, along with a gap and a cracked tooth in his bloodied mouth.
