A police photographer was taking pictures of a silver Renault which had its windows smashed in Edinburgh Terrace, the next street along.

Nigel Harris, who has lived in the area for 22 years, saw the first part of the incident in Edinburgh Grove.

"I was going to see my friend when I saw two lads who were just talking in the middle of the road," he said.

"The next minute I hear a gate slam and two bald-headed lads coming down the street. One of them was swinging something but I couldn't tell what it was, maybe a hammer.

"He said 'I'm gonna f***ing kill you' and he was swinging his arms.
