im still shaken up so sorry if I don’t make full sense.
Today was dropping my son off as had a baby class had left my 12 month old at the class as it’s around the corner and so hot in car (class ran by someone I know so he was ok not a stranger etc)
My sisters property is on a narrow road that has two ways in the top way was blocked with a delivery lorry so I had to go the other way. It’s really tight to get in. Three men and a lady we here stood on the road I say road but it’s more like a private lane ( you can’t get van down part of it). So turning was too tight to get around I could have just made it but to do so would have had to swing over to where they were stood. So tried positioning myself four times couldn’t make it.
So I pulled back and reversed as has better angle however had to pull forward slightly as had gone but too straight if that makes sense and knew if I hadn’t would have made it.
Only had to reverse tiny bit more and would have been next to the wide area you park at. A man started swearing at me this guy was 6ft plus and looked around 18 stone. Next thing he kicks my car and with his fist hit my side mirror off. Then hits out again and nearly hits my two year old. I would say one cm away from catching his head.
Call 999 police come and do f all they told me to go I did say I’m too shaken to drive but they told me to still drive off. They didn’t give me any details and the person admitted doing this. They haven’t been arrested or anything done. My insurance company are making me pay the garage as they said they don’t have enough info of person who did it and said police don’t share stuff with them. Officers and 101 told me all I need is a crime ref number.
RAC came out and took car as where he kicked it actually means panel is hanging off and can’t be driven and door isn’t staying shut so unsafe to drive. I don’t feel safe driving off but police told me basically it was fine and I was being silly.
they didn’t take a statement from me and two of the three officers just spoke to the man and his friends. When I rang to get crime number for insurance the woman on phone said but hang on didn’t you hit his wall and that’s why he did it. I was no where near a wall and the wall he’s talking about is a garden one that was being rebuilt.
My two year old who’s nearly 3 told my neighbour, the rac man his nan and my friend all he was hurt and his car was hurt by a man. Yet the police said he was fine him saying this shows he wasn’t fine and was scared.
Im trying to stay calm as this was all in past few hours but I’ve had to pay upfront for my car to be fixed. It’s mobility car and I physically can’t walk too far and if relevant my blue badge was also stuck to the side where he would have also seen.
The police made me feel this is my fault for not walking my son. If I had walked him the distance to the house it would have killed me it was over the amount I can walk at one time with the arthritis in my feet. I’ve just had a new pip assessment which confirmed that it’s bad - as in they got all consultants evidence to confirm this.
was I the unreasonable one or was I not and what do you think I should do or what would you have done. Pictures to show damage taken few minutes later away from where it happened
