The father of an 11-year old boy who died as the result of a hit and run crash early this year, lunged at the driver involved, as he finished giving evidence to a trial jury in Manchester.
Henry Barker (20), who pleads not guilty to causing death by dangerous driving, had just been accused of "not giving a damn" for innocent pedestrians when he drove a friend's Mercedes car at twice the 20mph speed limit in February.
Barker, who drove off at speed after hitting Shahzaib Hussain, pictured, refused to accept he had been speeding, and claimed not to have been aware of how fast he was going.
Clearly overcome by emotion, Mr Hussain, who had sat with his wife by his side in the public seats at the hearing in Minshull Street Crown Court, shouted "liar" to him, then jumped to his feet as Barker walked in front of him as he returned to the dock from the witness box. He was restrained by family and police officers sitting alongside, and was then led outside the courtroom until he had regained his composure.
The trial jury was told that Barker, who had admitted causing death by careless driving, had admitted driving dangerously after the incident on the afternoon of February 29 - but not before.
The trial continues.
