A neighbours' dispute turned nasty after three firebombs were thrown into a bedroom where an elderly man was sleeping.
Dwayne Carlo Zimmerman, 31, was charged with arson and wounding with intent to cause grievous bodily harm after he allegedly firebombed a house and threw a lit wheelie bin.
Neighbour Julian Hicks told the Herald on Sunday Zimmerman moved into a Housing NZ unit on Middlemore Rd, Otahuhu, a few months ago.
"He started leaving his door open and playing really loud heavy metal music," said Hicks.
The problems came to a head on April 10 with Zimmerman's other neighbours Hairaki Paewhenue and his son Ricky.
