Pushed someone a few times - Assault?

[lord trumpton]

I parked on a particular part of waste land whilst I made a call.

It was in an Industrialised area. A high vis wearing guy tapped on my window and told me to move quite bluntly.

We exchanged a few pleasantries and he stormed off and thumped the rear door on my car and left a shallow dent.

I jumped out and and went after him saying that he should not have done that (you get the gist)

As he didn't turn around i grabbed his shoulder and span him around and pushed him with two hands. Fairly hard but not enough to make him stumble or lose balance. I basically gave him a mouthful (no threats issued though) and left.He shouted that I'm on CCTV and it was assault.

Having calmed down and realised what a complete dick I have been I'm worrying what can happen to me. I have no record and apart from a speeding ticket or two Ive never been in trouble.

There's a thread in the lounge section about what's life really like in prison.

Can you add to it once you have been released?

Thanks.

Yeah, sure

So will I be arrested and have a criminal record?

[lord trumpton]

Well it was a storm in a teacup. I went to the place today and found Mr. Hi vis.

I walked over and apologised for my tone and my actions. I said it was unacceptable to hit another person's car but equally unacceptable for me to react. He looked a bit relieved to be honest. He said he thought I'd report him and he would lose his job.

i admitted i was worried he would report me to the police.

Anyway we shook hands and left it at that. Lessons learned
