Man jailed after attacking teens playing 'knock-a-door-run' in Walsall
A man's been jailed after attacking two teenagers who were playing 'knock-a-door-run' on his street in Walsall.
A man's been jailed for four years after attacking two teenage boys who were playing 'knock-a-door-run' on his street in Walsall.
It involves knocking on house doors and running off before they are answered.
Jordan Tonkinson, 29, of Gower Street, punched and threatened to kill the pair after chasing them when they targeted his house on 15 December 2024.
A group of six were involved and Tonkinson managed to grab two and drag them back to his house where he ordered them to apologise. He then punched them multiple times, leaving one with a cut above their eye and the other with cracked teeth.
He stolen one of their phones and smashed it.
Following his arrest, Tonkinson initially denied being involved but later changed his plea.
He was sentenced to four years at Wolverhampton Crown Court last week (2 June).
