Jimmy 'involved in bakery fight' | |
(about 1 hour later) | |
Schoolboy Jimmy Mizen was fatally injured when a fight broke out in a bakery, an eyewitness told a court. | |
Philip Lloyd told the Old Bailey that an "extremely aggressive" Jake Fahri, 19, punched Jimmy's older brother Harry in the bakery in Lee, south London. | |
In retaliation 16-year-old Jimmy and his brother charged at Mr Fahri and hit him on the head, the court heard. | |
Jimmy bled to death when he was hit in the neck with a glass dish. Mr Fahri denies the murder on 10 May last year. | |
'Violently abusing' | |
Giving evidence Mr Lloyd said he left the bakery to call the police as the confrontation escalated. | |
Mr Lloyd said Mr Fahri challenged the brothers to a fight. | |
"The accused was verbally and violently abusing Jimmy Mizen," he said. | |
The argument turned into a fight when Mr Fahri hit the brothers with a plastic cold drinks bottle, but they retaliated when Harry Mizen, 19, was punched on the cheek. | |
He was jabbing the sign towards them like a lion tamer Philip Lloyd | |
"They charged at him and ran into him and careered him across the shop. They hit him on the head a couple of times," he said. | |
All three crashed into a cake display and the brothers shoved the accused out of the shop, but Mr Fahri smashed the bakery's glass door with an advertising sign and came back in. | |
"He was jabbing the sign towards them like a lion tamer. I saw Jimmy Mizen grab the end of the advertising sign and get hold of it," Mr Lloyd said. | |
When he left the shop to call police he met another of the schoolboy's brothers, 27-year-old Tommy Mizen, and as he explained what was happening the accused came out of the store. | |
Mr Lloyd said: "He was walking with a swagger. | Mr Lloyd said: "He was walking with a swagger. |
