Rainworth neighbours scrapped in garden over noise row

Rainworth neighbours struggled in the garden when a dispute over noisy building works spiralled out of control, a court heard.

Matthew Peet jumped over the fence of his Clumber Avenue home and shouted abuse at his neighbour before hitting him in the face, at 12.30pm, on February 18.

“His neighbour put him in a headlock,” said Lee Shepherd, prosecuting. “Mr Peet scratched at his face and beard.”

When Peet was released, he hit the man in the back of the head, the court heard.
