Cheers for the posts everyone. Leg is a touch less painful today. Still swollen to a circumference 2.5cm more than the other leg. My workmate said it looks like I’ve got muscles now...one leg at least.
Anyway, just got back from my local police station. In a nutshell, I have given a full statement and they have had contact from the guy, after the put a note through the door late on Sunday. They are going to phone him now and send someone around tomorrow if no answer tonight. The PCSO got no witnesses from the other houses. Plenty said they heard the shouting and the bang, but none prepared to get involved. I have given the details of the 2 households that saw it happen. They are going to ask for statements, but warned that some won’t do it once they hear that they may need to go to court.
As far as classification is concerned, the regional support have decided that it can’t be a Road Traffic Incident as I have described the incident as a deliberate unprovoked attack with intent. They have it down as a Public Order Offence. This can change depending on what he says and also the witnesses, but it means I can’t attempt to claim via his car insurance presently.
Have sent through photo’s and can get the bike repaired at my leisure. They have warned me that it isn’t likely to be quick getting resolved.
No hurry, as can’t even wear a sock at this point.
Have been busy in work, so not had a chance to contact BC yet. That’s next on my agenda.
