Red face Pensioners beaten for clipping a wing mirror....

Pictured: The pensioners battered to a pulp by four men for clipping another car's wing mirror | Mail Online

FFS! this country needs sorting out! I guess the guy should have stopped and said sorry, rather than carry on driving, but even so there is no excuse for that sort of response

I'm so glad I don't live in Bradford. It's in the news a lot recently isn't it.

That is appalling, the things that get people wound up these days are ridiculous, maybe everyone is too stressed and they just need to reduce the pace of their life and chill

the police are satisfied it wasn't racially motivated. wonder if 4 white guys beating up an asian oap couple would be classed a racially motivated, course it ******* would?

I do feel for the poor sods this happened too, but why didn't they stop after "brushing" the other car to check for damage? It's a legal requirement and the old boy knew he'd done it Obviously doesn't give reason to batter 2 pensioners though - that is shameful behaviour by 4 men with no apparent morals

Yep, I wouldn't go near the place. UK capital for staged car accidents amongst other things (ie 5 people in a car slam on their brakes for no-reason and hope you go into the back of them...)

That is an awful tale. I hope that somehow they can catch the attackers.

What on earth is happening in this country now that so many no longer have have any respect for others and in lots of cases for a life either! What makes them so violent and likely to cause so much injury and pain to other for what after all is a very minor occurrence! Yes he should have stopped COB, but I can understand why he did not, and also how can that possibly excuse their vicious actions?

Yes I know you did not suggest it and did not mean to infer that. I did not write it as I actually meant to-my mistake!

So many comments on there worthy of spEak You’re bRanes

A terrible incident clearly, but the usual veiled racism always seeps in somewhere from the Daily Fail and it's legion of empty headed letter-writing-fist-shakers.

Good thing racism only works one way They were probably pissed that the old codger only caught the mirror and not rear ended them for a big juicy insurance claim.
