The 70-year-old Douglas Edwards was severely assaulted by a man, believed to be in his 30s, opposite the Super Spar in Lynette Street around 16:30. His attacker was driving a light-brown Mercedes Benz.
Edwards said this week the assault came after the two of them exchanged unfriendly gestures in traffic. The man pulled over and pelted Edwards’ car with a stone as he drove past.
“I pulled over to confront the man. He moved aggressively towards me as I approached his car. He attacked me and knocked me unconscious,” a battered and bruised Edwards said.
