Mr Muat denies all the charges against him

Alexander Muat, from Huyton, in Merseyside, denies threatening his neighbours and filming them.

Liverpool Crown Court was told that he has been causing problems for the Fowler family over a number of years.

He was thought to be the oldest person in the UK to be given an anti-social behaviour order when it was imposed last July.

Wooden baton

The order prevents him from filming his neighbours, or shouting, swearing at or harassing them. He is accused of breaking it on seven occasions.

His neighbour, Alison Fowler, said that Mr Muat had on a number of occasions filmed her family, blocked her driveway with a wheelie bin and had threatened her brother with a wooden baton.

The trial is set to last three days.
