Car parked in disabled spot. Only disabled bay on site. I politely pull up alongside and down my window. Person does same. I ask if they are disabled, they reply no, I ask if she would please move as I use a wheelchair and really need the spit.

I'm to,d I'm arrogant and she was refusing to move due to my attitude. So I park alongside. She'd parked, if you imagine an inverse T shape, she would be the I part. She had a car parker behind her but room behind. So I parked I. The T of the inverse T. I got my wheelchair out and displayed my disabled badge. Person 2 comes and asks me what the fuck I'm doing and to move my fucking car. Goes into my car and takes my disabled badge saying I wasn't disabled anymore and goes to their car. I start wheeling to the shop, comes up behind me, drags me back towards my car by the back of the seat. It tilts, back at my car, chair still tilted hits me in the back, tries to get in my car again, puts finger in my face saying I give disabled people a bad name.

I go into shop, came out to find badge on back of car wiper thingy and they'd gone. Should I go to the police? Was I bring unreasonable not to move my car to give them move room to exit the disabled spot (mind they exited the spot anyway)?

Shop think their cameras will cover area but will only release CCTV footage to Police

That is a breach if the Data Protection Act. You are entitled to a copy. you should apply in writing and they can make a small charge.

Please phone the police now. I hate to be pc, but I would say I thought of it as a hate crime and assault so they would treat it more seriously. I hate bullies and that driver was one and very aggressive. please come back and tell us what happens

Idrinkandiknowstuff · 23/02/2017 18:51

Please call the police, don't let this vile cunt do the same to someone else.

My blood is boiling on your behalf, I wish I'd been there, but it's entirely possible I'd have been the one getting arrested.

Another vote here for calling the police - it needs recording.
ShockShockShock

ShowMePotatoSalad · 23/02/2017 18:53

God this is upsetting just to read, I can't imagine how you must be feeling. OP have you reported to the police?

Also to a previous PP who said OP's behaviour was questionable - in what way?

newnamenew · 23/02/2017 18:53

Reported to police now, lovely woman was shocked, police will be out tonight or tomorrow.

YANBU to challenge her and also to go to the police.

CigarsofthePharoahs · 23/02/2017 18:56

Please report this to the police. Its utterly sickening behavior.

ShowMePotatoSalad · 23/02/2017 18:56

Well done for reporting it.

How are you feeling? Flowers

newnamenew · 23/02/2017 18:56

Feeling utter shit :(

Lilmisskittykat · 23/02/2017 18:57

That's appalling... I cannot believe someone would do that to another person.

I think you should report it.

LakieLady · 23/02/2017 18:58

Deffo report. Hope the bastards have a totally illegal car and it gets impounded into the bargain.

I'd ring the local paper, too, shame the fuckers.

lionheart · 23/02/2017 18:58

Hope they find her and that you feel better soon. Flowers

Flowers Sorry this has happened to you. Well done for reporting to the police.

Scrumptiousbears · 23/02/2017 19:01

OP. Did none stop to help you?

Forget data protection leave CCTV to the police as it will have to be evidenced and it's best OP doesn't get involved.

Good on you DD for the number plate. Someone's gonna get a surprised knock on the door.

Oh and (whilst I really don't think you will OP) don't put that pic up on social media. It'll fuck up anything the police will try and do.

ForalltheSaints · 23/02/2017 19:01

Go to the police. One of my former local councillors assaulted someone over parking in a disabled bay and was convicted.

Madhairday · 23/02/2017 19:02

That's truly awful, I'm so sorry Flowers

Glad you've reported. Hope they come soon.

Berthatydfil · 23/02/2017 19:04

That's awful for you.

elfies · 23/02/2017 19:06

AnneTwacky · 23/02/2017 19:06

That's absolutely horrendous, your poor thing! I can only imagine how shaken this must have left you. Glad you've reported it to the police Flowers.

hmcAsWas · 23/02/2017 19:07

Sounds like police are taking it seriously - so they should. He's for it Op - the police will surely charge him.

Sorry this happened to you
