A MAN was pushed out of a bedroom window during a vicious armed attack by a father and son, a court heard.

Victim Darren Bulmer injured both feet and needed a fractured bone in his heel put in plaster after the first floor fall, Teesside Crown Court was told yesterday.

Martin Rudland, prosecuting, said that Peter Clayton, 48, and Paul Clayton, 27, broke into Mr Bulmer's home in Stainton Street, North Ormesby, wielding a 10in knife and a gun.

Terrified, Mr Bulmer, 30, fled upstairs to climb out of a bedroom window in his boxer shorts, but he was pushed by the son, Mr Rudland told the jury.

Paul Clayton, of Premier Road, Middlesbrough, is accused of inflicting grievous bodily harm with intent on Mr Bulmer.

He and his father are jointly charged with aggravated burglary with the knife and a pistol and robbing Mr Bulmer of three rings and a gold necklace.

Peter Clayton also faces a count of possessing the gun to cause fear of violence to Mr Bulmer.

Mr Rudland said that he put the weapon to Mr Bulmer's head when he came round from the fall, but a third man, who has not been traced, shouted: "Don't shoot him here."

The jury was told Mr Bulmer denied owing a debt of £1,500 which led to the Claytons bursting in on April 3.

They both pleaded not guilty to the charges.

The trial continues.
