One of the men accused of being involved in a fight at a Lye petrol station over a family dispute has denied going there for that purpose.

Zishaan Hussain claimed at Wolverhampton Crown Court he only went to the BP garage in Pedmore Road for petrol, and acted in self-defence after being knocked over by a car and then headbutted by a member of a rival group.
