A father deliberately drove his van into a teenager who he believed had stolen his son's motorbike. The incident resulted in the teenager's ankle being broken. The father was sentenced to 21 months in jail.

An incensed father-of-two deliberately drove his van into a bike-riding teenager who he believed had earlier stolen his son’s motorbike. Nottingham Crown Court heard how John Gant “took the law into his own hands” when he swerved across the carriageway, struck the two-wheeler and broke the 18-year-old victim’s ankle. The terrified teen then hid in a garden before he was found by two men who marched him, as he limped in agony, to his attacker’s Nottinghamshire home.

Once there, the 39-year-old still seething defendant threatened him. Jailing Gant for 21 months, Judge Stuart Rafferty said: “Regret, after the event, is commonplace. Anybody can make a mistake in life and anyone can feel very sorry afterwards
