I had the police come knocking at my door this morning, coming to take a statement. It related to an incident about 3 weeks ago when I was out training some children and a driver became very aggressive towards me when I had to step into the road to stop him crashing into a child. When I pulled out my phone to take a picture he threatened to hurt me, steal my phone and kill me.
The reason it has taken so long is because I did not call 999 at the time. Instead I waited until my working day had finished and then went to the nearest copshop to report the incident. Both the man on the desk and the police who visited me today said given the nature of the incident (including threats to hurt and kill me) it would have been better to report via 999. This would have meant the car would have been circulated on the hot list of vehicles to be stopped.
I doubt the incident will get to court but am hoping the driver will have their cage seriously rattled when the police come knocking.
