A 20-YEAR-OLD man who left his mum feeling 'sick and scared' after manhandling her during a row has boasted of the incident on Twitter.

Aaron Clayton, of Burrough Close, Birchwood, pushed his mum, pressing his head against her forehead, and chased his brother with a bread knife.

He appeared at Warrington Crown Court on October 17 and claimed to be 'very sorry and ashamed'.

Days later Clayton joked on Twitter his mum now 'looks like Princess Diana'.

The argument in January was sparked by a comment the victim made about Clayton's weight, while he was eating a burger, which he threw at her.

Clayton bragged of being 'the famous burger knifeman', and his 'recent fame' on the social network.

Following a report in the Warrington Guardian covering the court case, in which the defendant admitted affray, he posted a series of messages.

"Starving me," he said.

"Might get a burger, but might throw it? dno (sic) what to do. RT to eat. Fav (sic) to throw.

"It went through my mum's head and she can no longer move and she now looks like Princess Diana."

He also sent messages directly to the Warrington Guardian Twitter account, asking people to 'pass on' that 'paedophiles and rapists' work at the paper with 'the elderly and minors', victims.

The tweets have been referred to the paper's legal department.

Clayton was also said to be back in employment during the court case on October 17.

Two weeks earlier he posted 'dole is mint' on Twitter, to go with other offensive comments.

He appeared to make a racist slur towards Arsenal striker Danny Welbeck'.

The defendant is currently expected to meet with the Probation Service for 12 months so they can supervise his behaviour.

He was also sentenced to 70 hours unpaid work for the confrontation with his mum at court.
