The terrifying moment a nightmare neighbor from hell was caught attacking a home has been caught on the camera he tried to destroy. Stephen Groves was slapped with a restraining order by the courts just weeks ago.
But the 56-year-old was back in court again for smashing up his disabled neighbor Stephen Persaud's Ring doorbell. Just another incident in a two-year-long harassment campaign.
Birmingham Magistrates' Court heard how the nightmare neighbor took a hammer to the ring doorbell in retaliation after police were called to his Pear Tree Road, Shard End home. Footage obtained by BirminghamLive shows Groves hitting the doorbell repeatedly with a broom, and then a hammer - just weeks after he was convicted of harassing his neighbor.
He was handed a two-year restraining order and told he would have to wear an electronic tag over four weeks ago. He launched another threatening attack last week - forcing his disabled neighbor's niece Victoria Riscinskis, 39, to ring the cops in the early hours of last Wednesday morning.
