A father whose son was accused of a mugging told the alleged victim to drop the charges or he would “kill him”, a court heard.

Mark Izraelov, 50, is said to have threatened Samuel Brown after Mr Brown accused Yacov Izraelov, 20, of stealing his mobile phone and coat.

Both Mark and Yacov Izraelov were in court on Monday to face charges relating to the alleged mugging on September 20, 2014.

Prosecuting lawyer Iestyn Morgan told the jury at Wood Green Crown Court: “Samuel Brown says he was on Finchley Road when he saw two males approach him. He recognised Yakov Izraelov, who punched him in the neck.”
