Took the law into their own hands

Peter Foster, 38, and Andrew Barbour, 40, armed themselves with "Ninja sticks" and confronted teenagers they blamed for terrorising a neighbourhood at Radcliffe, UK.

They were arrested when a 15-year-old boy complained to police that he had been assaulted with the martial arts weapon.

A judge told the two men they could not take the law into their own hands. But he released them with conditional discharges after telling them: "I understand your position very well indeed. You were probably at the end of your tether."
