Well, news just in…..
The guy was interviewed at the station, admitted striking me, and has apologised via the police officer.
He said that he went for me as I was approaching him in a “threatening manner with my hands up towards him”.
I have accepted this to bring the matter to a close – he’s been spoken to and has a warning against him. The police are happy as they have a detected crime on their stats, and the tax payer hasn’t had to pay for a prosecution and trial.
The only niggle I have is that his excuse is a complete damn lie, and I have witnesses to prove it but the police have never even asked for the witness details.
The guy threatened me while sat in his car, which I ignored, he got out the car and threatened me, which I ignored, he stood a foot in front of me and threatened me, which I ignored, and then he pushed me into a hedge, which I ignored.
Then he got into his car, went to drive off, stopped, reversed back, got out the car and did it all again.
Still, I’m not the one who was called into the station to be questioned, so I think I’ve made my point
