Businessman fined for attack on parish council chair in birds’ nests dispute

A parish council chair feared his life was “in peril” when he was attacked by an “out of control” businessman during a dispute about birds’ nests in a quiet village, a court has heard.

In the video, Mr Mason is seen lying on the floor and can be heard shouting “get off me” and “the police are on their way, you lunatic” as well as calling Makin an “ignorant bully” as the defendant swears at him. The court heard that Mr Mason had endured a number of stress-related issues since the attack and suffered sleepless nights.

Mr Smith told the three magistrates that the defendant used “unreasonable and unnecessary” force after Mr Mason “positioned himself under the cherry-picker” to stop it cutting any more of the trees.Makin, of Micklefield, North Yorkshire, was found guilty of assault by beating at an earlier trial.
