EDL Supporter Jailed For Attack

An English Defence League (EDL) supporter who wielded knives, broke down his neighbors’ front door and threatened to kill them, has been jailed.

He reportedly hurled racist abuse at a family living near him in Victoria Road, Thornhill Lees. He attacked their front door with a knife and eventually broke it down. When he got inside the house, he threatened to kill everyone.

The criminal, Daniel Smith, had 167 previous convictions before he was locked up for 10 further offences today.

Smith pleaded guilty to charges of burglary, common assault, possessing an offensive weapon and making threats to kill.

The 39-year-old was not present for his sentencing however, because he was taken back to Armley prison from the court at lunchtime after destroying two toilets in the court cells.
