A man pointed a sawn-off shot gun in the face of another after attacking him during a family argument in Harehills.

Anton Craig Johnson pulled out the weapon, which turned out to be in imitation, during a confrontation at the property on Elford Place West on June 26 last year between himself and his sister’s partner.

Prosecutor Philip Standfast told Leeds Crown Court that Johnson became embroiled in an argument with the man which his mother and sister then tried to break up. Johnson then threw a punch between them that struck the man in the face, leaving him with a cut on his eyebrow.

Johnson then grabbed the gun and aimed it at the victim, before eventually leaving the property. He was later arrested and told police that he thought the victim was going to strike him first.
