Witnesses helped to rescue a terrified woman repeatedly shouting for help from a car after a violent attack at the hands of her then partner. Gary Reid had driven off with the lady in his passenger seat on July 11 this year after they had earlier fallen out.
He jabbed at the side of her head in the vehicle, before she managed to open the door and escape. But she left the passenger door open and Reid reversed his car and clipped her arm in Beech Avenue, New Basford.
She fell to the floor, Nottingham Crown Court heard on Wednesday (December 21), and Reid tried to drive forwards. "Whether or not you intended to run over her is neither here nor there," said Recorder Paul Mann, King's Counsel, who addressed Reid in the dock. "It is a dangerous act that could have had that result", he added.
