It was actually the passenger, and he was without exaggeration the largest man I've had the misfortune to meet - brick, shit, house - so no swings back. I did fantasise about it for a week afterwards though.
I got their number, as did three independent witnesses.. called the roz to report a hit and run + assault. They told me to wait in the street (with rapidly swelling wrist) until they sent a car round. Called them back an hour later.. "Oh sorry, we're not actually coming.. Fridays are very busy doncha know."
Went to the station and filed a report, they went to the registered owners house, he claimed he'd sold the car for cash 6-months previously. They didn't bother to show me a picture or anything to see if he was telling the truth. So car was officially unregistered, untraceable. Haven't heard a peep since.
Unfortunately Ive now misplaced the reg. number, so can't chase it up (I've since met a journo with access to the DVLA records who was willing to run the number for me).
Another day in the life of the lazy, negligent Brighton Police.
