County Durham driver ran over man and knocked him unconscious amid 'bad blood' dispute

A County Durham driver ran over a dad and knocked him unconscious amid a long standing "bad blood" dispute.

Philip George was behind the wheel of his car and in a line of traffic when another driver - who he had "regular altercations" with - attempted to overtake. But as the driver tried to pass, he believed George "accelerated" in an attempt to prevent him from doing so and a violent incident soon followed.

George, 32, of Front Street, Frosterley, County Durham, appeared at Durham Crown Court this week to be sentenced for assault occasioning actual bodily harm. He had pleaded guilty to the offence.
