Watch terrifying moment man brings knife and shotgun to Bristol street

These are the moments CCTV captured a feud between friends on a Bristol street.

Bristol Crown Court heard there had been reports of damage caused after Jamal McBean and a man called Mr Ellis fell out.

In September last year McBean turned up with a knife at the the home of Mr Ellis' partner in Montreal Avenue in Horfield.

After trying to attack Mr Ellis with the blade McBean drove off but returned on a scooter, armed with a shotgun, asking where Mr Ellis was.

A judge was shown CCTV footage of McBean's arrival at the scene in his mum's Peugeot - and a flatbed truck being reversed into it.

Some 10 minutes later McBean was captured returning on a scooter with a shotgun in a bag, riding off and - off camera - the sound of a shot ringing out.

McBean was adamant it was not him who fired the shot, telling the court his shotgun wasn't loaded, and the judge accepted his evidence.

McBean, 20, of no fixed address, pleaded guilty to possessing a knife, affray and possessing a firearm in a public place.

Last week Judge James Patrick handed him two years' detention in a young offenders institution.

He told McBean: "What the people who lived in Montreal Avenue must have felt, heaven only knows."

The judge handed McBean a six-year restraining order banning him from contact with named parties as well as going to Montreal Avenue.
