A man threatened to attack his neighbour "John Wick style" amid a feud regarding his dog.
Christopher Luke called the police and made abusive threats towards his neighbour after his dog was allegedly stolen following a fight last month. During the phone call the 27-year-old referenced the Keanu Reeves film series and said he'd throw his neighbour's body "in the river" if he didn't get his dog back.
Luke, of no fixed address, appeared at South Tyneside Magistrates' Court to be sentenced for a charge related to making the menacing call. He had pleaded guilty to the offence.
