Can’t see how they’d get a conviction for anything over this. Rocketman’s version will be the one put forward. Can’t and won’t prove the necessary intent for any kind of assault charge.
Agree.
I’m an unfit jogger – I veer and lurch a bit and could easily swerve the way he did and clout someone, instinctively raising my hands as a buffer then gasping my appologies and carrying on without properly looking back.
Occams razor says accident. If it isn’t then someone out jogging decided to assault a stranger for no reason which seems even less likely.
A jogger bumped into David Cameron a while back. Joggers fall under cars. it’s not exactly rare.
Maybe he had an inner ear disorder, maybe he’s got some kind of motor control issue. There are all kind of explanations for veering into someone.
As stoatsbrother has said, the jury of public opinion has already cast its verdict.
