Run Down

|

Daniel Horne was on his way home from a night out with friends in Wales when their car broke down. They decided to walk to the nearest town to get help, but someone thought they were dumping the car and called police. A police cruiser responding to the call jumped the curb and ran up onto the pavement, knocking Horne down and crushing his foot beneath one of the wheels. After finding out they had committed no crime, the police allowed Horne to be driven to a local hospital. Then a police officer gave Horne an £80 fine for denting the police car.
