What? Come on,’ they said they’re coming to my house. I said, ‘You’re not coming to my house, that’s the last thing you’re going to do’.”Brearley said the group were “mouthing off” with weapons.“I’ve got the footage of them saying that, that they’re going to run through my house, break bones in my body, bash my missus, take my shit,” Brearley told police.Brearley then said he “chased the fat one”, who “just f—ing stopped”.“His mate yells, ‘Chuck me the knife’, and his mate did, and I said, ‘Are you gonna use the knife?’, and he said, ‘Yeah’.”LoadingBrearley detailed how Cassius slipped in the creek before he demanded the boy told him who gave him the knife while putting his foot on his head.“I was just resting my foot on him so he couldn’t move,” he said.“I said tell me your name, or you’ll get stomped. But it wasn’t enough to hurt him, just to keep him down, but then he gave me the name. If he didn’t give me the name I probably would have killed the kid, you know.”Brearley then claimed Cassius slashed him with the knife on his leg, causing him to punch the boy, before he walked away and went home.The trial continues.
