He was accused of kicking a 12-year old child, striking him to the head and dragging him across a road.

Policeobjected to Graham Gordon’s bid to renew his licence after he was accused of kicking a 12-year old child, striking him to the head and dragging him across a road.

The incident, which occurred in July 2020, went to court last Friday and, due to the short turnaround, Police Scotland had been unable to find out all the details.Sergeant Lisa Campbell told the licensing committee: “The applicant pleaded guilty to an amended charge of assault and a child aggravator attached to that.

He added it was the first time he had ever been in court and told councillors he had been hit first and reacted. Mr Gordon also said his licence was clear and he had never had any issues while working as a private hire driver.
