Nottingham Crown Court heard he had taken steps to secure the weapon to his hand with duct tape
A defendant was warned he would have been facing a murder allegation if he had struck a binman with a claw hammer on the head. Thankfully, Craig Goldby missed hitting the man after pulling the hammer from a pocket when he took the law into his own hands.
As he missed with one swing of the hammer, Goldby tried to swing once more, but was tackled to the ground by his victim, who broke his hand. A large kitchen knife fell from Goldby at the time but was not used.The attack happened after rumours were flying around the victim had allegedly paid to have a 14-year-old boy beaten up. But the victim said they had been on friendly terms for many years - and it was shocking how things change in 24 hours.
