This is the moment spurned husband Rihards Mezinieks charged towards his supposed love rival - gripping a pistol in his hand.
The 37-year-old left an impression of the gun butt on his victim’s face after pistol whipping him across the head in the car park of Bicester trampoline park Bounce on October 29 last year.
Six days after the attack, the defendant sent a series of sinister messages apparently threatening the man he’d pistol whipped - and appearing to show his jealous belief his wife and his victim were in a relationship.

Mezinieks said of his wife and his victim: “If they continue to lie they will continue living in fear. Even if I will go to prison [sic] he will pay for it. They will live in fear/agony, I will swear.”
On November 11, Warwickshire Police followed Mezinieks down the M40 and pulled him over at a Banbury shopping park.

Inside the car, officers found two imitation hand guns. Although technically BB guns, the gas-powered weapons were so powerful they were classed as firearms by law.
Mezinieks, of Witnell Road, Coventry, will be sentenced late next week.
