Violent attack by motorist.

Typical example of motorists' road rage .Its a good job a cyclist was
not the victim this time, though they had better watch out for this
sort of thing as a car can also be used as a weapon which is much
worse!.

"A man is in a critical condition in hospital after being attacked at
a car wash in Falkirk.

Central Scotland Police said the 49-year-old suffered a serious head
injury after being assaulted at the Arc car wash in New Carron at
about 0815 BST.

The force are investigating reports that the man, who was driving a
red Fiat, had been involved in an earlier incident on the M9 motorway.

They said the 21-year-old driver of a green Volkswagen was being
questioned.

The 49-year-old man was taken to the Western General in Edinburgh
following the incident.

Det Ch Insp Willie Cravens said: "The 21-year-old was driving a green
Volkswagen Golf and the 49-year-old was driving a red Fiat people
carrier-style car.

"They were both heading west and left the motorway for Falkirk and
continued to the car wash where the assault occurred.

"We appeal for anyone who may have been travelling on the M9 around
8am and who may have seen the two cars."

Mr Craven said the force was keen to speak to anyone who saw either of
the cars travelling from the motorway to New Carron between 0800 BST
and 0815 BST.

Completely OT post again.

Dave - intelligent enough to realise that a push bike, like a skateboard, is
a kid's toy, not a viable form of transport.
