Police Investigate Chainsaw Attack At Islington

BY IAN CROUCH

 A man is recovering in hospital after he was allegedly threatened by another man wielding a chainsaw at Islington.

Police say the pair had been out drinking and returned home at about 1.45am on Friday and became involved in a scuffle.

It's alleged one of the men picked up a chainsaw, which wasn't operating and began threatening the victim.

He suffered lacerations when he kicked at the machine, with his leg getting caught up in the chain.

Police expect to lay charges against a 28-year-old man over the incident.
