A former member of Maidstone United's youth team has pleaded guilty to threatening two women after an incident in Allington.

During a fracas in Bluebell Way, Allington, which saw a 12-year-old arrested, Brodie Fernandes, who knew the boy, took exception to neighbours watching events and banged on one door more than 50 times.

At Medway Magistrates' Court Dylan Bradshaw, prosecuting, explained on June 21 police were called to a disturbance at an address in the street where they arrested the boy.

Fernandes, 21, from Orchard Avenue, Aylesford, who was staying with a friend at the time, also shouted obscenities at a woman about her weight in front of her daughter.

He was pulled away by the police before going to another address in the street where he again shouted derogatory terms towards another lady about her sexuality.

Fernandes, who now works as a warehouse operative in Aylesford, pleaded guilty to both counts which were captured on police body worn cameras.

Representing himself, Fernandes said he regrets his behaviour but seeing neighbours watching the altercation out of their windows only angered him more.

He said: "We have had quite a lot of problems with the neighbours, they have an injunction on me and it has been quite stressful.

"I took on my friend's problems when I should have just stayed calm.

"I have toned down my language and I apologise for my actions."

The injunction was already in place against Fernandes by Clarion Housing association on behalf of residents in the street.

Fernandes was released on conditional bail. He is not allowed to contact the victims and has been banned from visiting Bluebell Way.

A further hearing at Medway Magistrates' Court has been scheduled for January 5 where a nurse will carry out a psychiatric assessment on Fernandes before the case is taken any further.
