A gang ambushed a bin wagon in a shocking incident caught on dashcam. The attackers now face serious charges as the court proceedings unfold.
Stoke-on-Trent: A wild scene unfolded when a gang ambushed a bin wagon. It all started with a near miss between a car and the bin truck.
Joe Corden jumped out of his car and threw punches at a bin man. He even grabbed a school crossing sign to smash the wagon as it tried to escape.
Things escalated quickly. Corden returned with three friends, ready for trouble. They attacked another bin crew who had no idea what was coming.
The gang charged down the street, brandishing weapons. One bin worker had to jump back into the truck to avoid getting hurt.
Chaos erupted as the gang smashed the truck’s windows. One crew member fell over a wheelie bin while trying to escape the madness.
They were armed with a baton, hatchet, and even a sledgehammer. At one point, someone fired a gun at the wagon, but it wasn’t caught on camera.
The driver of the first bin lorry was punched through the window and needed hospital care. The second attack left three binmen injured, with one needing treatment for serious injuries.
This shocking footage was shown in court as Corden and his friends await sentencing. They face multiple charges, including assault and possession of weapons.
The trouble started on March 21, 2023, after the near collision. Corden then gathered his friends to ambush the second bin wagon with serious weapons.
All three men are now in custody, and the case will continue in February. A youth involved has already received a rehabilitation order.
