A PENSIONER lost his leg after a bus driver drove over him following a violent row, a court has heard.

Allan Thomson, 64, is accused of losing the plot when Michael McFadyen, 74, fell asleep on the single decker and refused to get off.Jurors were shown footage of the driver pushing the grandad off the First vehicle in Aberdeen and later dragging him along the floor by his jacket.

Retired engineer Mr McFadyen told Aberdeen Sheriff Court that he’d gone out to meet his brother in a pub. He claimed he then approached the driver and asked him if he would drop him off on his return to the city centre. “The bus goes back into town and passes my house. The driver said ‘no you’re going off the bus’. I did explain but he wouldn’t listen.”A juror gasped at the moment Thomson shoved the pensioner off the bus.The pensioner denied he was the one who started the incident. And he hit back at claims that he intensified the row by trying to take photos of Thomson so he could report him.
