Tucking family, fucking bastards' and tots of ‘bad words. As we got in his car, the Defendant
walked back towards the block. As I went to drive out, I saw the Defendant standing by the
main door to the block and videoing me and my family with his mobile phone and swearing
and shouting abuse at us. I got out of his car, brought out my mobile phone and started to
video the Defendant who continued swearing.
I stopped videoing Mr Cordell and turned to get back inside my car but the Defendant pushed
me to the ground from behind. The Defendant sat on top of me and started to punch me on
the face and repeatedly banged my head on the ground. After a while, I managed to push him
off.
6. I then went to my car to get something to defend myself and picked a piece of metal from
my boot but I decided against using it, the Defendant rushed at me again and punched me in
the face and I fell backwards to the ground. The Defendant then sat on my chest and started
to punch me repeatedly on the face. By this time, my 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.
7. The Defendant’s mother 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.
8. 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.
9. 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 l kept on
doing was to defend myself. I was held in a cell overnight and bailed the next day.
10. As a result of the assault, l had to have 3 teeth removed and replaced with dentures. A
written report from my dentist can be seen in exhibit MM2.
11. The Defendant was also arrested, interviewed on the same day but released, I don't
understand how this could have happened, while I being a victim of his assault was kept in a
cell overnight. The Anti-social Behaviour team made enquiries to find out why the D. was
not charged with breaching the terms of the injunction order and they were told that no
charges were made on the basis that I had apparently provoked the Defendant. This is untrue
as all I did on the day was to ignore him to take my daughter to school.

Incident 01 March 2018
12. My wife was inside the bathroom giving our daughter a shower while my cousin was in
the living room, I was at work. At about 11 am, the Defendant came to our front door and
started rattling the letterbox and knocking loudly on the door. My wife went to the door and
asked who it was and the Defendant replied 'why are you shouting’. My wife told him that
she was not shouting and that she was inside her bathroom giving our daughter a shower. She
asked him why he came to her front door, that he was not allowed to be there but the
Defendant ignored her and continued to bang and kick on the door. This went on for about 5
to 10 minutes and caused a great deal of distress to my wife and daughter and made them
scared for their safety. My daughter started crying because of the commotion and loud
banging. The Defendant left after my wife asked his cousin to call the police.
13. We telephoned the police on 101 to report the incident and was asked to go and make a
statement at Edmonton police station. I did so in the morning of Tuesday 06 March 2018.
