Absolute scum of the earth – Luke Littler's van window smashed in Norwich
Luke Littler revealed his van was vandalised while the world champion was participating in an exhibition event in Norwich.
The 18-year-old defeated rival Luke Humphries in the MODUS Icons of Darts event in the city on Friday night but returned to his vehicle to discover the rear window had been smashed.
Alongside an image of the van, Littler posted on Instagram: 'Just trying to do an exhibition in Norwich and this happens, absolute scum of the earth.'

The PA news agency has approached Norfolk Constabulary for comment.
Humphries and Littler, ranked first and second in the world, were joined at the exhibition by former world champions Phil Taylor and Raymond van Barneveld.
Littler became the youngest-ever darts world champion in January, aged 17, when he defeated Michael van Gerwen in the final of the PDC's flagship event at Alexandra Palace.

Trainer's words come back to bite him as hot-favourite Desert Flower beaten in Oaks by Ryan Moore on Minnie Hauk
TRAINER Charlie Appleby's words came back to bite him as red-hot Oaks favourite Desert Flower was turned over by Ryan Moore on Minnie Hauk. Speaking before the race, Godolphin trainer Appleby said he thought jockey William Buick would be putting the race to bed at the 2f pole. 1 Minnie Hauk wins the Oaks ahead of Whirl making it a 1-2 for Coolmore as hot fav Desert Flower could only finish third Credit: PA But the 11-10 1,000 Guineas winner who looked awesome at Newmarket last month didn't seem to handle the rollercoaster Epsom track. And by the time the 2f pole did appear she had loads of work to do to chase down Aidan O'Brien pair 9-2 Minnie Hauk and 17-2 Whirl. Desert Flower did get going but far too late. It was down to a battle between the two Coolmore runners with Moore, so, so strong in the finish, prevailing over Wayne Lordan to give his boss an 11th win in the race. The big talk before the off was whether the previously unbeaten Desert Flower would stay the trip. Former top jockey Johnny Murtagh said on ITV that she definitely DID - she just didn't handle the track. Murtagh said: "You cannot say William Buick's horse didn't stay - it's just that the other two were superior." More to follow.

Jury resumes deliberations in Harvey Weinstein sex crimes retrial
A Manhattan jury resumed deliberations on Friday in Harvey Weinstein's sex crimes retrial after ending its first day without reaching a verdict in a case that encapsulated the #MeToo movement. The panel, which was handed the case on Thursday morning, has requested to hear a readback of some testimony from two of Weinstein's accusers, as well as to see medical records from one of those women. The jury of seven women and five men is considering two counts of criminal sex act and one count of rape against the 73-year-old Oscar-winning movie producer, with the criminal sex act charges the higher-degree felonies. Harvey Weinstein has denied all the charges against him (Jefferson Siegel /The New York Times via AP, Pool/PA) Weinstein has pleaded not guilty. Sexual misconduct allegations against Weinstein propelled the #MeToo movement in 2017. He was eventually convicted of sex crimes in New York and California, but the New York conviction was overturned last year, leading to the retrial before a new jury and a different judge. Jurors heard more than five weeks of evidence, including lengthy testimony from three accusers.
