It's all a bit over the top, a 40 year old kicked him in the shin??? What sort of a 40 year old does that? He's going to get done for assult now so he might as well have given him a pasting so that he get's his money's worth.
The BBC report is crap though, Old Red nose suffered leg injuries!!!! Bollox, he got a bruise and maybe a slight graze, hardly an injury though is it?
