Homeless man row: US couple ordered to hand over Johnny Bobbitt money
31 August 2018
A New Jersey judge has ordered a couple to turn over the money they raised for a homeless man after he helped one of them out in an emergency.
The judge gave Kate McClure and her boyfriend Mark D'Amico until Friday afternoon to transfer what remains of more than $400,000 (£307,000).
It is to be placed in an account controlled by Johnny Bobbitt's lawyers and frozen pending a new court ruling.
The couple deny Mr Bobbitt's claim they helped themselves to the money.
The Philadelphia man filed a lawsuit for fraud and conspiracy on Tuesday, saying the couple had used the funds as their own "piggy bank".
