An 'out of control' businessman owner of an airport dragged a parish councillor by the hair after 'throwing him to the floor in a headlock' in a furious row over birds' nests.
An 'out of control' businessman owner of an airport dragged a parish councillor by the hair after 'throwing him to the floor in a headlock' in a furious row over birds' nests.
The argument between the pair arose when a group of local residents gathered to try to stop contractors working for Makin, 'crowning' trees, as they were concerned about the birds nesting there. Mr Smith told the court that, at one point, Makin appears to instruct his workmen to move the cherry picker forward as Mr Mason is lying in front of it and the defendant can be heard on the video saying 'forward a bit'.
Also in his statement, the parish council chair expressed dismay that he 'could be viciously attacked in broad daylight in the village I love and where I have brought up my children'. Police had been called earlier and had advised Makin to stop work but the officers had left by the time the assault happened.Makin, of Micklefield, North Yorkshire, was found guilty of assault by beating at an earlier trial.
