Mother defends son who knocked man out cold for ‘harassing’ her on their doorstep

Trudy Murrell, 55, was outside her Middlesbrough home with her granddaughter when two “high as a kite” men wandered into her garden

A son punched a stranger to the ground outside his home after one of them allegedly insulted his mum.

Jack Randall, 22, lashed out at a man said to be “high as a kite” after he and a pal approached disabled Trudy Murrell, who was with her one-year-old granddaughter.

Trudy, 55, was sitting in the garden of her home in Middlesbrough with the toddler when the two men wandered into their front garden.

Footage of the punch, caught on camera outside the home, was posted by the family on social media.

Jack shouted: “I’m not having it, you don’t talk to my mum like that.”Man “harassing” ill mum on her doorstep knocked out cold when her son comes home

Trudy, who has Fibromyalgia and diabetes, told the Daily Mail that one of the men had tried to walk past her to the front of her house, and praised her son for his actions.

She said she was “frightened” and described the men as “unpredictable”.

Jack was in a car nearby when he got a message from his girlfriend telling him what was happening.

He got out and dramatically floored the man.

His brother James – whose daughter Trudy was holding – told the Mail: “I saw Jack had floored this man and wanted him away from my daughter quick so I dragged him away.

“I went up to the other guy to tell him to leave and when he talked back I slapped some sense into him.

“I just wanted to get them off the property and out the house and away from my daughter.”

He described the two men as “high as a kite”, and claimed he later learned that the men had tried to get into another home around the corner.
