Bert, of Namrik Mews in Hove, was charged with two counts of GBH with intent after attacking a neighbour at his former home address in St Aubyn’s, Hove, on March 23, 2021. His neighbour – a 50-year-old woman – had temporarily parked in a private car park while she collected some items from her garden. Bert became aggressive, threatening and physically violent, causing significant facial injuries after a sustained assault. He was arrested at Heathrow Airport as he attempted to board a plane to Spain and, at Lewes Crown Court on March 3, he was jailed for 64 months.
