Catherine Lloyd was captured on CCTV smashing the tool over the man’s head at the back of his home.

The mum-of-three had to be fought off by the victim following the attack in Peterborough, Cambridgeshire.
Lloyd left her unnamed neighbour with a cut to this head and was jailed for ten months for GBH without intent.
But due to time already served in custody, she is already back on the streets – leaving the victim and his family terrified.
His grandparents-in-law, who live next door to Lloyd, shut down any suggestion from police there had been a “long-running dispute”.
They told Mail Online: “It’s not ‘she had a go, we had a go’. There’s no tennis involved. It’s her just persecuting us for her own enjoyment.
“We were subjected to a hate campaign and we have no idea why. It’s been hell, it’s been purgatory. She’s a calculated, scheming woman.”
The family have now been forced to install an iron gate to “safeguard” themselves from Lloyd in case she comes to “finish the job that she intended”.
They also released further footage that allegedly shows Lloyd hitting the victim with wooden bat with the help of her ex-boyfriend.
The family claim it was the culmination of a three-year campaign of abuse that saw Lloyd make death threats, throw bricks at them and brand her elderly neighbours “paedophiles” and “murderers”.
She began her campaign in 2020 after putting a letter through the family’s letterbox accusing them of leaving broken roof tiles and tree trimmings in her garden, it is understood.
The family attempted to speak to her the following day and wrote a letter explaining their contractors had cleaned up the tiling.
They also offered to clean up the tree trimmings but got no answer.
The family claimed: “Then all of a sudden she just turned. To this day we don’t know what reason, but that’s when the abuse started.
“She was shouting at 1am in the morning that she was going to kill us. I was frightened of going out my front door.”
The family claimed they called the police repeatedly but said Lloyd was like a “ticking timebomb”.
They accused her of pushing one of the pensioners off her bike – leaving her bruised – and claimed she threw bricks into their garden while they were enjoying a BBQ.
On April 18, 2023, she was caught on camera chillingly shouting: “Do you have a preference? I’ve got a spade, I’ve got garden shears or I’ve got a rake.”
Just three weeks later, she went to the home and smashed the victim over the head with the spade.
DC Lloyd Davis, from Cambridgeshire Police, said: “Catherine Lloyd’s behaviour in this case was completely unacceptable.
“Irrespective of any ongoing dispute, violence like this is not the answer.
“I’m pleased the victim can now move on.”
