A TEENAGER was kicked to death in a Colindale street after objecting to his friend being 'eyed up' on a night out, a court has heard.

Nineteen-year-old Ian Page fell into a coma and later died following the brutal attack on November 12 last year.

Louisa Ball told the Old Bailey she had been walking along Edgware Road with Mr Page when a man began to stare at her.

It is claimed 24-year-old Andre Campbell then recruited a gang to launch a fatal attack on Mr Page, who was from Neasden.

Questioning Miss Ball about the events that led to Mr Page's death, Andrew Bright QC, representing Campbell, said: "He Mr Page was saying 'why are you looking at the girls like that?' He took his jacket off, he was wanting to fight this boy Campbell. He was challenging him to have a fight."

Miss Ball said she saw the victim follow Campbell to a kebab shop: "About ten to 15 boys came out of the kebab shop and almost immediately began kicking and punching Ian. One of them kicked him in the head."

She had originally told police that it was Campbell who aimed the final kick, but admitted in court that it may have been someone else.

CCTV cameras captured the attack, which lasted for more than two-and-a-half-minutes.

The jury was told Mr Page had managed to get up after the final kick and stagger to a bus shelter. A man wearing a bandana then walked over to him and punched him one last time in the head.

Mr Page was knocked unconscious and was in a coma for four days before he died.

Andre and Phillip Campbell, 18, and half-brother Lloyd Henry, 20, all of Stockford Avenue, Mill Hill; Jermaine Yateman, 19, of Aeroville Boothe Road, Colindale; and Yuri Campos, 18, of Ridgeview Close, Barnet, all deny murder.

The trial continues.
