Here it is folks - the final instalment of this unbelievable and somewhat alarming trilogy
About 10 mins later, after Mike had come round to see me, he was on the phone to the people who installed the gates telling them what their fuckwit workmen had done.
I was next door checking with one of the other neighbours whether they'd not got keys either, and guess who was walking up the courtyard with his minions - yep - the premier twat of the estate, Ryan!
I went in and told Mike they were on their way back up. Then we went to see what was occurring. Sure enough he was trying out the keys that "he" had stolen earlier on other gates. He was abusive to the poor old bloke next door when challenged as to what he was up to.
Mike decided that enough was enough and walked up to Ryan and said "come on I'll have those keys please they're not your property" to which several expletives were spewed out from his festering little mouth.
All the time, giving it the verbal and goading at Mike to "come and have a go then", equally all the time backing along the courtyard as Mike confidently and calmly carried on advancing towards him demanding that if he would not get off the estate then the police would be called in.
Then it all went NUCLEAR!!
The little drug fucked abortion of a child started to get violently verbally and physically abusive. He was totally off his face on dope and booze.
He threw his bottle of alcoholic drink at Mike drenching him and spitting at him an threatening to get us both killed by his "uncle Pete", now totally in our faces.
By this time his little hangers on had scarpered to be replaced by 4 older lads who began to try dragging him back from us to get him off the estate, at the same time I was already on the 999 call to the police.
Mike decided to head back in and as he turned the little shite wipe broke away from the lads who were dragging him off and launched himself at Mike kicking the back of his leg above the knee.
Obviously disgusted by his behaviour towards Mike, rather than support him one of the older lads started laying into him, pulling him to the ground and engaging in a full on fist fight and bawling insults!!!
At no time did any of his "mates" take his side, and at various points during the fight they individually came up and apologised for what was happening.
We walked back to towards my porchway to await the police and the guys from the gate company (they'd been called out to come and remove the lock so that it couldn't be used).
Ryan then somehow managed to break away from them again and had found a broken chair seat and ran up threatening to "do" Mike yet again and it almost made contact with his head. His mates tried pulling him away from us yet again, and we shut the gate (pity we couldn't lock it really).
He still came back for more!!! Throwing himself at the gate yelling abuse and threatening our lives yet again, spat at us both before finally being dragged off the courtyard for the last time that night.
The police took a very long time to respond considering it was an urgent 999, but did turn up some time later.
The upshot is that Ryan has been charged under the umbrella crime of affray - encompassing assault,theft,threatening behaviour,criminal damage, and was carted off to spend a night in the cells.
Apparently his own father didn't want to know and told the police to take him
The lock was removed and currently I am without any form of security ouside the flat.
