AN ELDERLY disabled man has accused the police of allowing a neighbour who attacked him to get away scot-free

AN ELDERLY disabled man has accused the police of allowing a neighbour who attacked him to get away 'scot-free'.

Trevor Kaey, of Highbury Road, Weston, said he is outraged that the man who drove his car into him and slammed him against a wall was not charged for the assault.

The 74-year-old, who has to walk with crutches since an accident 18 months ago left him with a broken foot, said he was attacked on December 5 after a continuing neighbourly feud.

He said: "When I was walking towards my house, along the pavement, I saw his car come straight towards me.

"I managed to step back a bit but his car still hit my crutch and clipped my hip.

"He then got out, grabbed my coat and started to slam me against the stone wall behind. I think he also hit me in the face."

Mr Kaey, who lives with his wife Concy, contacted the police the same day, before he was taken to hospital to be checked over.

He said: "I know my neighbour was arrested and the police told me he had admitted the assault, yet they did not charge him."

Mr Kaey says he has been suffering from headaches and pains in his foot ever since the incident and it has made him worry about where he lives.

A police spokesman said: "A 57-year-old man was released with a police caution. This was in relation to an assault in the Highbury Road area of Weston on December 5.
