A racist thug broke a stranger's jaw after mistaking him for a man involved in a road rage incident. Andrew Ashton approached the victim on Chorley Old Road in Bolton and punched him in the face before racially abusing him, the Crown Prosecution Service said.
When the man asked Ashton, 33, why he had attacked him, he told him it was because of the road rage incident the previous week. The pair had never met.
When Ashton realised he had got the wrong man he made a racist comment before running away, leaving his bike behind. The victim required surgery for a broken jaw.
