A remark about the wrong parking of his car was a reason for a 29-year-old man from Assen to seriously mistreat an older man. For this ‘disproportionate’ action, the twenties has been sentenced to a community service sentence of 140 hours and a conditional prison sentence of three months.
The victim was kicked in the back with a karate shovel. The man fell and was kicked against the body and head. He ran a broken wrist and a bruised back. The Assenaar left with howling tires, while the shoppers took care of the victim.
The suspect was lucky that it will not end worse, said the public prosecutor. If it had been a paraplegia, the Assenaar would have sat for three judges.
She demanded a ten -week prison sentence for attempted serious abuse. “And that for a comment about wild parking,” said the prosecutor. The Assenaar stood crooked on the road with his car, half on the sidewalk. An older couple walked past and saw that an older woman on her bike did not pass the car. The suspect hoeed her and scolded her from his car.
The woman on the bike finally chose a different way, she didn’t want a confrontation. The man of the older couple made a remark about the parking behavior of the suspect. The couple walked on. The man was attacked by the attack of the Assenaar. “A completely idiotic action,” said the public prosecutor. The suspect did not recognize himself in the images that were made of the abuse.
He has been feeling stressed for a long time and was not himself, the man said about this. In addition to his full -time job, he is caregiver for his girlfriend and his mother. He apologized to the victim.
The judge moderated the sentence by taking into account the personal circumstances of the Assenaar. She also attaches great importance to the man who is guilty. The victim has been awarded a damage amount of 2500 euros.
