Police who slapped an innocent Scots delivery driver with a recorded warning after he was booted in the head during an alleged road rage attack have been ordered to reinvestigate the crime. James McGoldrick lodged an official complaint with Police Scotland over the way he was treated after he called officers for help in November 2021.
The 60-year-old had been delivering pizza to a property in East Kilbride when he was reportedly followed by a man who had earlier cut him off on a nearby road. The dad-of-two claims he was knocked to the ground by the angry motorist who repeatedly punched and kicked him as he tried to defend himself.
James was left completely horrified after later being given a recorded police warning by the investigating officers, who claimed that “all the neighbours” said he’d been in a “stand up fight”. But a fresh probe has been ordered after an internal review found that the alleged assault had not been properly investigated and a key witness not spoken to.
James, who is a carer for his partner, said: “It’s been a long, drawn out process and I am glad that it’s now been proved that I’ve been telling the truth about being assaulted since the start. The stress and anxiety that this has caused is unbelievable because you know that you’ve been a victim but you’re being treated like a criminal.
“This is an organisation that you’re meant to put your trust and faith in and they just totally let me down. I deliver food to that address quite a lot so I asked them and they said the police hadn’t been to the house at all.
“I thought that was very strange if they were conducting an investigation and yet didn’t go to the house that it happened outside. It was like a red flag to me that something wasn’t right.
“Thankfully
