Maciey Blandzinski was jailed at Flintshire magistrates court last month after admitting the act of vandalism in a bid to get deported to his native Poland
Shocking moment a disabled woman angrily confronts a man after he trashed her family’s car in Wrexham.
The woman spotted the man attacking her Vauxhall Corsa car and filmed the destruction which showed smashed windows and dented body work costing hundreds to repair.
It is believed the film, which shows the pair rowing in the car park at Wrexham’s Waterworld, was released online by a woman who reported the vandalism to police.
When questioned by the woman as to why he damaged her car, which was parked in a disabled space, the man claims that he wanted to be deported.
She can be heard saying: “Are you for real? You’re covered in blood, you have just smashed my wife’s car which she is learning to drive in to bits. My child’s car seat is in that car! Look at me!”
The clip cuts off after five minutes when the man fled the scene.
When the case of Maciey Blandzinski came to Flintshire magistrates’ court last month , he said he had ruined the car because he was living on the streets and desperate to be deported to his native Poland.
The court heard that the victim was an MS sufferer who parked her car in a disabled bay while she and her partner went to a fair with the children.
After about half an hour she felt unwell and went to the nearby Waterworld cafe to have a rest, but she realised the car was being damaged and went outside.
She found the defendant standing on the bonnet kicking the windscreen, which smashed.
Police then arrived and arrested him.
Blandzinski, 23, of no fixed abode, but formerly of Ruthin, admitted criminal damage to the car.
The defendant said he did not know the owner of the car and it had simply been the first one that he saw.
When it was explained to him it was parked in a disabled bay and the keeper was registered disabled, he apologised and said he was sorry.
Blandzinski told the court “there is nothing for me here”, warning that if he was released he would go out and smash a shop window to continue in his bid to be deported.
'Desperate situation'
He was jailed for four weeks – but at the time was the subject of a four month suspended prison for possessing a knife and that was activated in full – making five months in all.
Blandzinski received concurrent seven day sentences for stealing vodka from Iceland and B&M Bargains on the same day.
Phillip Lloyd Jones, defending, said Blandzinski was a young man in a desperate situation and committed the damage because of his plight.
It was abundantly clear that there would be a considerable amount of cost to repair the vehicle.
He had been living on the streets, had no income and could not claim benefits and had lost his identification papers.
