“I know quite a lot about sport in Glasgow; which baseball team does he play for?”
A private hire driver who attempted to hit a man with a “baseball bat” has had his licence renewal bid turned down.
Councillors were told he had reacted to “significant” provocation as the victim had previously abused a family member of the driver. “I’m not saying that paints him in a particularly good light,” he added. “But this was not an assault which occasioned any permanent harm to the complainer.” Mr Kinloch had shown “considerable remorse” and was assessed, in a criminal justice social work report, as being at “low risk” of re-offending, councillors heard.
The applicant’s solicitor said the item was a “baton” but added his client had said he had kept a baseball, baseball bat and glove in his car for use by his children.
