Swaggering away from court : Lee Cairns , 43 , and his daughter Kelly Lamb ( pictured ) , 23 , left a man aged 79 unconscious in an unprovoked attack . This is the shameless swagger of a father walking free from court despite knocking a 79-year-old man unconscious after his daughter attacked the victim 's car . Lee Cairns , 43 , of Wallsend , Tyne and Wear , took a ‘ running leap ’ at Stan Roberts and punched him in the face in an unprovoked attack in nearby North Shields . Mr Roberts , who suffered cuts to his nose and cheek and required treatment from an ambulance crew after the attack , said he had ‘ never been punched so hard in my life ’ . The attack happened last July at the home of his ex-wife , 38-year-old trainee nurse Yejide , North Tyneside Magistrates ’ Court was told . There had been an earlier clash between the couple and Cairns ’ s daughter Kelly Lamb , 23 , a mother with a one-year-old child , which resulted in damage caused to Mrs Roberts ’ s car . Minutes later , Cairns stormed to the home and attacked Mr Roberts , punching him once to the face with such force that it knocked him out . When police arrived to arrest Cairns at his home , he snatched a baton from one officer and threatened to ‘ take his head off ’ . Cairns , who admitted assault , criminal damage and assaulting a police officer , will be sentenced later this month . Lamb admitted criminal damage and was given an 18-month conditional discharge , as well as being fined more than £400 in compensation and costs . Maimuna Bappa , prosecuting , said : ‘ Mr Roberts was visiting his ex-wife at her property when they heard a loud knock on the door . He went to the door and found a young lady , identified as Kelly Lamb . She was asking for them to move their motor vehicle from outside their address . ‘ After the verbal altercation , he did move the car . There was some aggression but , after they moved it , they sat down to watch TV . Twenty minutes later , some people came to the door again. ’ Cairns hurled abuse at Mr and Mrs Roberts , before entering the house and attacking Mr Roberts . Attacked : Stan Roberts ( above ) , who suffered cuts to his nose and cheek and required treatment from an ambulance crew after the attack , said he had 'never been punched so hard in my life ' Mr Bappa added : ‘ He saw him draw his right fist back and punch him in the face . He was bleeding heavily from his face as a result and collapsed by the living room door. ’ Cairns and Lamb each then kicked the door of Mrs Roberts ’ s car , leaving a dent . Mr Roberts was treated in hospital before he discharged himself . He said : ‘ He said he punched me once but he knocked me out , so I don ’ t actually know how many times I was hit . ‘ Cairns saw me and took a running leap towards me and punched me so hard he split my nose and cheek . I went down and I was on the floor . Location : The attack happened last July at the home of Mr Roberts 's ex-wife , 38-year-old trainee nurse Yejide , on this road ( file picture ) in North Shields , Tyne and Wear . ‘ I ’ m 79 and not used to being bashed like that . I was knocked out then I was in a haze and all I could see was the floor and an increasing pool of red blood around me. ’ The incident left Nigerian-born Mrs Roberts so terrified she was forced to leave her home . She said : ‘ It ’ s affected me so badly . I had to move house and I hardly ever leave the house now in case I bump into them in the street . ‘ It has left me a nervous wreck and affected my career as a student nurse . I hope they get punished. ’ Referring to the assault on the police officer , Ms Bappa said : ‘ The officer went to arrest the defendant and he attempted to walk away . Sentenced : Lamb was given an 18-month conditional discharge at North Tyneside Magistrates ’ Court ( above ) , as well as being fined more than £400 in compensation and costs . Cairns will be sentenced later this month . ‘ He became aggressive and , after he had one hand cuffed , he used his other hand to pull the baton from the officer ’ s belt and raised it above his head and threatened to hit the officer . 'He said he would “ take the officer ’ s head off ” with the baton. ’ Richard Haswell , defending Lamb , said : ‘ She ’ s a young lady with a one-year-old child . She ’ s in work . She ’ s got involved and lost her temper and kicked the door. ’ She was ordered to pay £255 compensation , £150 costs and a £15 victim surcharge . Mr Haswell , also representing Cairns , said his case should be adjourned for the preparation of pre-sentence reports . District Judge Bernard Begley said : ‘ This was a serious and nasty incident . An elderly man was injured . ’
