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.

I’ve got osteoarthritis in my hips, shoulders and knees. The last thing I want to do is get into a fight with someone who is far younger than me that looked about 18 stone. “I just want an easy life,
