‘I’ll f***ing KILL you!’: Moment Patsy Kensit’s millionaire fiancé charges at engineer holding steering wheel lock in furious row after he was sent to test burglar alarms at their London home
- Patric Cassidy flew into a rage after engineer was sent to carry out tests at home
- The 32-year-old engineer, who wouldn’t be named, said: ‘I was terrified’
- The footage suggests Mr Cassidy wrongly believed the engineer was a thief, perhaps provoking his fierce reaction
Patsy Kensit‘s millionaire fiancé is filmed raging and waving a metal steering wheel lock in a row sparked after an engineer was sent to test burglar alarms at
their luxury mansion block home on a Sunday morning.
Extraordinary footage shows property tycoon Patric Cassidy, 58, screaming ‘I will f***ing kill you’ at an engineer who had been testing alarms at the plush West End home he shares with the EastEnders star.
It’s understood Mr Cassidy – due to soon become soap queen Patsy’s fifth husband – reacted furiously after finding the engineer, who was not in uniform, in the reception area of his building and.
Mr Cassidy, who got engaged to Patsy earlier this year, flew into a rage after the engineer was sent to carry out tests on the alarm at the building and other nearby properties.
The 32-year-old engineer, who spoke on condition of anonymity, said: ‘I was terrified.’
The engineer, who at just 5ft 4ins tall and of slight build was dwarfed by Mr Cassidy, explained how the incident began after he was tasked with testing the alarms on the morning of Sunday 14 May – which necessitated it going off audibly several times over a one hour period.
The engineer told Mailonline: ‘I saw this man who was next to his big car. He was angry and I tried to explain, but he said ‘I want to speak to your manager’, so I called the building security guard.
‘I tried to explain to him that I was doing my job. I work for a maintenance company and I had been booked to test the alarm.’
‘He was really angry and I asked him to calm down. ‘But the guy wouldn’t calm down or accept what I was doing. He asked me to take my hands out of my pockets.
‘He didn’t seem to want to believe me or understand what was going on.
‘Then he went to his car, and came out with a steering lock and started threatening me so I started filming on my phone.
‘I told him there had been a misunderstanding and that he should calm down, but he said: ‘If you come near me I’ll f*****g kill you you thieving c**t’
The father-of-one went on: ‘I was really frightened.’
The man who lives in south London and had recognised well-known Ms Kensit when he had seen her on a previous occasion Mr Cassidy so was aware he was her fiancé.
It is unclear whether Mr Cassidy’s aggressive behaviour was sparked by the engineer reacting angrily when challenged to provide verification.
The father-of-one added: ‘I was quite shocked by it all. I actually didn’t think this type of thing could happen in central London.
‘It is a really rich area with successful people living there and I enjoyed looking at all the great cars parked on the streets.’
The EastEnders star first revealed their engagement in February and said her lover had got down on one knee with a huge diamond ring.
