A man attacked his neighbour amid a petty row about parking before he scratched, bit and spat at police officers as they arrested him in an ‘utterly appalling’ melee.
Andrew Vance, 54, confronted his long-term neighbour as he sat in his car before walking up to him and shutting the door on his arm. After the man told him he didn’t want to discuss the parking situation any further, Vance, of Burnage, punched him three times in the face, Manchester Crown Court heard.
After 15 minutes the police arrived to arrest him. Initially appearing calm and cooperative, Vance launched into a violent attack, which saw him scratch one officer, bite another and spit at a third. Fortunately there were no serious injuries.

Today (October 18) Vance was handed a suspended sentence.
Prosecuting, Neil Ronan said Vance and his neighbour had known each other for 14 years. The man had parked up in the shared parking space when he was approached by Vance on July 1, 2022. Vance shouted to him: “Have you got that letter about the parking?” to which the man replied that he had.
Vance then said: “Won’t be able to park there for much longer”, to which the man replied that the parking was for residents.
“The defendant approached the car and closed the door on the man’s arm, causing pain to his elbow,” Mr Ronan said. “The man was scared the defendant was going to further assault him so wound his window down and said: “Andrew, I don’t want to discuss it any further”.
“He [Vance] then punched him to the right side of his face three times and said: 'won’t let you get away with this'”.
