Two men have told of their terror when faced with a gunman standing astride a motorcycle shooting at them.

Dara Shikah and Nabil Kheder tried to run for cover when they saw a sawn-off shotgun being pointed at them but both of them were hit in the legs.

Adam Green, 26, is alleged to have carried out the attack at a Gillingham garage in revenge for his brother being sold a car with mechanical faults.

But the wrong men were targeted as they had nothing to do with the sale of the car, Maidstone Crown Court has heard.

Prosecutor Andrew Espley said two other men who worked for Khabat Ismail sold a Ford Focus to Tony Green.

He and Adam Green, 26, went to the yard on April 12 2012 and asked mechanic friend Mark Payne to inspect the car. He told them it was extremely dangerous.

When Tony Green spoke to the men who sold it one of them swung a metal bar at him. Adam Green became involved in the row. Tony was left with blood on his head.

The next day Kurds Mr Shikah and Mr Kheder went to the yard to scrap a car for Mr Ismail, who also ran a car wash there.

Mr Shikah said he was just about to have some lunch when the two orange Moto-cross style bikes entered the yard.

“I saw the man at the front taking a gun out,” he said. “It was then I thought there was a problem. At that moment I ran.

“I was shot at and pellets went into my leg. I heard a second shot. I was in hospital for eight days.”

Mr Shikah said before he was hit the rider lifted the visor of his helmet revealing his eyes and part of his nose.

Mr Kheder told the jury he heard Mr Shikah say he had been hit.

“I saw holes in his body and blood,” he continued. “I was heading for some parked cars. I felt a burning in my leg. I had an injury.

“I ran to one side and Dara and Ismail to the other side. The gun was first fired at and in the direction of Dara and Ismail and then in my direction. I was frightened.”

He later told police the two riders were dressed the same in all black. The rider at the front took the gun from his trousers “like a cowboy”, he added.

Adam Green, of Hards Town, Chatham, denies two charges of attempted murder.

His sister Melissa Green, of Lord Duncan Court, Duncan Road, Gillingham, denies perverting the course of justice.

Their brother Steven Green, of Luton Road, Chatham, has been found unfit to plead to a perverting charge and the jury will just have to decide whether he “did the act”.

The trial continues.
