A West Lothian war veteran who was injured in a bomb blast while serving his country has had his specifically designed car vandalised in a mindless attack.
Joe Patterson, 64, was left disabled following the blast after suffering a head and foot injury in 1980 while on a foot patrol in Northern Ireland. Joe served in the Royal Marine for nine years between 1974 and 1983.
Joe, who also suffers from PTSD as a result of his traumatic past, is unable to move his right foot since the incident over 40 years ago, meaning he has to drive a specially-adapted automatic car with a left-foot accelerator.
