A couple '"at the end of their tether" over antisocial behaviour attacked a teenage boy with a rolling pin.

Sophie Turner became "hysterical" after rowdy youths kicked her front door late at night and within minutes, she and her husband set off in their car to confront the group, culminating in both assaulting a 17-year-old boy.
