Burnley Magistrates ' Court heard that the pair had both wound down their car windows to exchange words outside St John 's Primary School , in Burnley , Lancashire ( pictured ) , when Moore then jumped out of his car , and punched Mr Cegielka through his open car window . He then ripped away a fencing panel from a nearby garden and chased the victim 's vehicle with it as he tried to drive off . 'He was frightened by this behaviour and started his engine and drove away . 'He could see the male following him and it 's at this point that the defendant has gone to a fence at a house in the street , started pulling away the fence panel , snapped it off and run down the street after the vehicle with Mr Cegielka in it . He chased after the car , clearly trying to hit out at the vehicle . ' The prosecutor said the victim had to drive round the block and come back to the school to collect his child , when he again saw Moore again . Moore went into his house , got the hockey stick , and then ran after Mr Cegielka 's vehicle again , shouting : ' I 'll f***ing kill him . ' At Burnley magistrates court Moore admitted assault by beating , destroying £100 worth of fencing and damaging Mr Cegielka 's car , on March 2 . He was given 16 weeks in prison , suspended for two years and was ordered to attend the Resolve programme to address his violence and temper . he was also ordered to pay £650 compensation . Mr Harrison said : 'He ran off down the middle of the road after the car and the defendant has struck it , causing damage to the vehicle whilst the complainant was still in it . He says this incident was completely unprovoked . He says he was terrified by this incident . ' Moore later claimed Mr Cegielka was giving him 's**t ' for facing the wrong way in the street because it was tight at school times . He admitted grabbing the victim through the car window and screaming at him , but said he did n't punch him . He said he had been angry and had seen red , but knew what he did was wrong . He told officers : ' I 'm very sorry . I had a s**t day . My head was all over the place . ' In mitigation his lawyer Graeme Tindall said : 'When he was interviewed , he was full and frank . He says he did n't punch him . He flicked his glasses off his face . The incident happened because of congestion around the school . He readily accepts he saw red . He accepts he has a short fuse and reacted wholly inappropriately . In the cold light of day , he conceded all the faults that he had on that occasion . ' Moore declined to comment after the hearing . Mr Cegielka was unavailable for comment .
