There are times when Hulu’s 8-episode series “Wedding Season,” premiering on September 8th, plays like a relatively straightforward romantic comedy about two beautiful people who end up crossing paths during a crowded Scottish season of nuptials among mutual friends.

A delivery driver who claims he was viciously kicked in the head after being ‘attacked by a road rage driver ’ has slammed police after they gave him with a recorded caution instead. James McGoldrick called officers for help after being followed by a man who had earlier cut him off on the road while he was on his way to drop off food in East Kilbride last November. The 59-year-old claims he was knocked to the ground and repeatedly punched and kicked by the man as he tried to defend himself. But James, who is also a carer for his partner, claims that Police Scotland officers did not arrive at his home to take a statement until two days after the incident - and that they failed to record any information about his injuries. After around two weeks without contact from cops, the dad-of-two says officers then turned up at his partner’s home and slapped him with a formal police caution while allegedly stating that he had just ‘been in a fight and lost’. James, who believes he is a victim of injustice, told the Record: “I ended up with a concussion but they’re trying to say it was a wee stramash.
