A thug who broke a bank managers nose in an unprovoked assault has been let off with a cautionbecause he said sorry.
Ryan Gough, 41, was punched in the face four times outside his girlfriends home in the road rage attack last Saturday afternoon.
The unnamed biker knocked on Goughs car window as he was parking at the house in Asfordby, near Melton Mowbray, Leicestershireand punched him for cutting him up. The 40-year-old suspect was caught minutes later by police, but Gough learned this week that his attacker had been let off because he had apologized for his actions.
Gough, from Tile Cross, Birmingham, has now complained to Leicestershire Police. Today, he said: This was an unprovoked attack on another citizen and it should have been treated as an assault.

Great way to promote anarchy. Cops will be out of a job and vigilantes will rule the streetsand where they are not prevalent, Sharia terrorizers will be (as they are now).Thug who punched bank manager four times in the face, breaking his nose, is let off with a caution because he said he was SORRY to police
he could have at LEAST apologized to the person he hit and be made to pay damages and medical costs.
jeesh

Cops NOT doing thier jobs by letting thuggish behavior go free. Just watched a tv show about biker gang(s) in
san Diego got into a fight (about 8 of them) cops showed up, stopped at alley entrance, didn’t get out but got on PA system telling them to go away.
Meanwhile back in NY, a 12 year Army vet gets busted for possesing 5 empty 30 round magazines.
...I guess the CA cops figured on an ass whoopin if they got out and NY went for the easy bust...
As a side note, the cops in the article should have at least given the bank manager two "free punches" at the thug. After all, my sister was really sorry about the basketball foul but her opponent still got the two free throws. And if its good enough for 10 year old girl's basketball it should be plenty good for punching thugs.
I suspect the driver did something ignorant and reckless that could have killed the biker. Maybe this guy Gough deserved a few punches in the face, and maybe he actually got away lucky - - some people would have sent him into surgery. (shrug) Can’t tell from the story what happened on the road.
Not in my town he doesn’t! In Texas you can use deadly force to prevent a beating. Happened a few times at the beginning and then.....sort of stopped!
“Cant tell from the story what happened on the road.”
Good point. Changed my perspective on the story.
Nearly fifteen years ago I beat down someone who tried to rob me of a bank deposit bag late at night, and I’ve been a felon ever since. What a complete joke the justice system is. Everywhere, it seems.
Dr. Fritz Fassbender: My father, the most beloved gynecologist in Vienna, before they took him away on a morals charge for indecent exposure at the State Opera House, said, and I quote: "Please do not take me away, I will not do it again."
Victor Skakapopulis: Brilliant quote.
Dr. Fritz Fassbender: He was a brilliant pervert.
