Unhappy when he heard that his son had been kicked, a private-hire driver confronted his child’s six-year-old classmate and punched the boy in the face.
He added: “Thankfully, the victim did not hit his head on the floor as his grandmother was holding on to hand.” His 53-year-old assailant pleaded guilty to one count of assault on June 28. He has since made full restitution of $440.65, which was the cost of the victim’s medical treatment. The mother alighted and returned to the vehicle soon after with the boy. She told her husband that, according to a teacher, somebody had kicked their son.
