Father attempted to rob his own son at knifepoint
A masked man who attempted to rob a teenager at knifepoint was unaware it was his own son.
The 45-year-old, who attempted to disguise himself with a snood, targeted the boy at an ATM in Cranhill, Glasgow, on 19 November last year.Sheriff Andrew Cubie, who sentenced the father to 26 months, told the court: "These are an extraordinary set of events." Glasgow Sheriff Court heard the teenager had spotted the hooded accused, who cannot be named for legal reasons, lurking near the ATM.
Prosecutor Carrie Stevens said: "As he put his card in his pocket and took the cash from the machine, he turned left and felt something against the left side of his face."The boy felt a large kitchen knife pressed against his face."The victim instantly identified his father from his voice and eyes.
But he later stated: "I didn't know it was him at the cash machine. I done it. I will do the time for it."Edward Gilroy, defending, told the court: "His mother, brother and son are all extremely angry at him."
