Mrs Davidson was woken by the noise of the two men "laughing and carrying on" and looked out of her window to see them lying on a path near Tompkinson's address. "It appeared that one of the men said something back and Mrs Davidson saw her neighbour draw back his fist, before apparently thinking better of it and lowering his hand.
"Mr Poole stumbled and then fell backwards striking his head on the roadway, where he lay unconscious.The court heard that after Mr Poole had gone to the floor, Tompkinson used his mobile phone to record two separate clips of the two men, but did not contact the ambulance service himself. In his interview, he told officers he acted in self-defence after the men had become "aggressive" and moved towards him.
