Granny attacks man in street with newspaper

A Grumpy granny’s furious and unprovoked attack on a neighbour in a garbage bin row has been filmed. The three-minute sequence shows pint-sized pensioner Valerie Dunningham lashing out at garage boss Luke Warr repeatedly smacking him round the head and even kicking him.

Bellowing the 'F word' Mrs Dunningham, who is just 4ft 10ins tall, launches a physical attack on Mr Warr and tries to push the offending wheeled skip bin out into the middle of the road.

Mr Warr, who has a legal right to use the shared driveway in the middle of Sudbury, Suffolk, shows remarkable restraint in the face of the onslaught during which he is slapped almost 30 times round the head with a newspaper as well as kicked.

Mr Warr, 37, said: "The woman is a nightmare - we were trading here long before the flats where she lives were even built. We have a proper established and legally drawn up right of way to cross the driveway but Mrs Dunningham seems intent on stopping us - she really is the neighbour from hell. We simply move the bin out onto the pavement once a fortnight then when it has been emptied bring it back in.

“I just try to keep my cool -I am a fairly laid-back person but a lot of people have asked me how I managed to stop myself retaliating. Whenever she sees me she lets fly with an awful barrage of foul language and this time she turned it into a physical. She tries to block the garage entrance and even had a go at one of my blokes because he has ginger hair. I have complained to the police but they say all they can do is give her a warning or if it persists issue her with an ASBO."

A spokesman for Suffolk police said: "Officers were called to reports of an assault and they spoke to both parties. No formal complaint was made and suitable advice was given."
