A MAN accused of chasing two young mothers down the street with a Taser stun gun told a jury all he was holding was a cordless drill and a paint brush.

Gulfraz Majeed, 56, said the police planted weapons in his house and all the witnesses were lying.

Majeed is on trial at Bradford Crown Court denying having a Taser with intent to cause fear of violence and two charges of possession of a prohibited weapon.

He is said to have chased two women and their four children with a stun gun on November 7, 2011 after telling them he had been in Pakistan shooting people.

Majeed is also accused of showing a 14-year-old girl a Taser the same day while telling her he drank blood.

Police seized a collection of weapons from his home on Charteris Road, Lower Grange, Bradford, including two Taser guns, prohibited under The Firearms Act, it is alleged.

Majeed told the court yesterday the weapons were ornaments kept in a storeroom.

The jury has been shown photos of flails, an axe, catapults, a crossbow and bolts, swords, a hunting knife, a dagger, garotte and homemade spears seized from the house.

He said the spears, poles with knives Sellotaped to them, were for use in the garden.

Majeed spent time in Lynfield Mount Hospital in Bradford after his arrest and was not interviewed by the police for five months.

He has no criminal convictions and told the jury: "I am not a violent guy."

He mistrusted the police and accused them of being "bent" and framing him.

"I did not have any weapons. I was told they were ornaments. I don't need weapons. I have a good walking stick here," he said from the witness box.

Asked by Chloe Hudson, prosecuting barrister, about allegations from witnesses that he had a Taser, Majeed replied: "I never spoke to these people. They are being coached by the police.

"I went into the house. I did not fire anything."

He said he was painting his garden fence and mending it using a cordless drill. He also had a phone with him.

When Miss Hudson asked him about telling the teenage girl he drank blood, Majeed said: "Do I look like a vampire?"

The jury was today retiring to consider its verdicts after Judge Robert Bartfield summed up the case.

The trial continues.
