A shirtless 'nightmare neighbour' has left residents living in fear over his behaviour after someone hung a thong on his washing line for a joke, it has been claimed.
Frank Garnett, from Burdale Close in east Hull, has been slapped with three restraining orders and narrowly avoided a prison sentence over the "hell" he has put his neighbours through.
One resident said: "All I know is someone hung a thong on his washing line for a joke but that doesn’t warrant having your windows put through and shouting horrible things."
Earlier this week, Garnett was handed an eight week suspended sentence, reports Hull Live.
The 70-year-old was convicted of charges including racial aggravation and harassment causing alarm or distress, after he hung signs on a woman's washing line telling her to “die you n*****”, and calling her a “black n***** b******”.
