Suspended sentence for road rage driver who assaulted cyclist after making death threats — later test showed Edward Shane was over the legal blood alcohol limit when he punched the victim and rammed his vehicle into a lamppost the cyclist was stood behind
A driver who threatened to kill a cyclist before attacking the rider during what the victim described as a"near-death experience" has avoided an immediate jail sentence.
The court heard that having got to their feet, Shane told the cyclist he had a gun and would shoot him. He went to the boot of his car and began looking for something before chasing the cyclist between stationary cars and picking up his bike, holding it over his head. Describing the attack as a"near-death experience", the cyclist was able to call the police having run to a nearby petrol station and borrowed a phone.
Shane pleaded guilty to making threats to kill, dangerous driving, assault by beating, criminal damage, driving with excess alcohol, and failing to provide a specimen for analysis. During an interview he said he had made the threats in the heat of the moment and had not meant them.
