Armed man threatened to stab pensioner before battering him in street outside his home
A thug armed with a knife preyed upon an innocent pensioner who was making his way home from the pub late at night.
But, as he approached the entrance, he was confronted by the couple again - at which point he began filming them. Hoijord Smith, of no fixed address, responded by shouting: "I'm going to stab you, I'm going to kill you." Hoijord-Smith has previous convictions for burglary, production of cannabis, battery, theft, public order offences and breaching court orders. John Weate, defending, told the court: "The defendant was clearly agitated at the time he was arrested and during the course of the interview process and detention at the police station.
"During the end of that period, through his own bad choices and through peer pressure, he found himself taking class A drugs again. The rest, as they say, is history.
