wife and daughter were crying, and my wife was
                 screaming for neighbours to help but nobody
                 came out. My wife tried to pull Mr Cordell off
                 him as I was not able to defend myself, but she
                 could not. She then grabbed the piece of metal
                 from my boot and hit the Defendant with it as self-
                 defence to stop him. Some neighbours come out
                 of their flat after a while and the Defendant got off
                 me and went into his flat. By then I was bleeding
                 profusely on my lips and forehead and both my
                 wife and I called the police and ambulance
                 service.

                                 {CLAIMANT}

                  THE MAYOR AND BURGESSES OF THE

                                 (DEFENDANT)

                            MR SIMON CORDELL

                             DIRECTIONS ORDER

                 8.     The Defendant’s mother Lorraine Cordell
                 turned up as I was being attended to inside the
                 ambulance and started to shout abuse at my wife
                 and accused her of attacking her son.
                 9.     The police took my mobile phone and my
                 daughter’s scooter that was inside my boot. The
                 ambulance officers advised me to go to the dentist
                 immediately to have my teeth attended to as two
                 of my front teeth was broken and another two
                 were wobbly. The ambulance carried out an
                 assessment of my injuries. A written report of my
                 injuries can be seen in exhibit MM1.
                 10.    The police phoned me as I was driving to
                 the dentist and asked me to return to the estate. I
                 was then arrested for assaulting the D even though
                 I never assaulted him but all I kept on doing was
