'Red Dwarf' star accused of attack

Dustman Jan Lisiencki has accused Red Dwarf actor Danny John-Jules of attacking him.

Lisiencki told Brent Magistrates' Court yesterday that John-Jules waved "a blade", before punching and kicking him outside his home for not collecting a bin.

"He was swearing a lot," said Lisiencki. "He was furious. As he was walking he was also waving something. It was a blade.

"I was kicked and my son got punched in the face. Then I was hit in my face."

John-Jules's legal representative Andrew Foreman accused Lisiencki of lying and attempting to "make money" out of the court case.
