Footage has been released showing the moment a petrol station customer crashed his car into another man for not wearing a face mask.
As we reported on Friday, Darren Smith, 47, drove his Volkswagen Polo at speed into Stephen Callaghan at the Morrisons filling station in Caerphilly. Now the Crown Prosecution Service has provided CCTV of Smith's dangerous driving as well as his headbutt on the same victim. You can see the footage at the top of this page .
Cardiff Crown Court heard the confrontation started on the afternoon of October 25 last year, after Mr Callaghan had arrived at Morrisons following a shopping trip. His two grandchildren were in the car with him. Mr Callaghan entered the petrol station and found himself behind Smith. Judge Daniel Williams said Mr Callaghan was wearing a Covid-19 mask exemption card, and the defendant "took exception" to him not wearing a mask.
