A North Shore pensioner suffered suspected concussion, scrapes, bruises and a likely torn hamstring after an alleged road rage attack involving a Ponsonby CEO and high-performance European sports car. It’s alleged the 73-year-old was left dazed and injured after a physical altercation with the wealthy businessman last Sunday afternoon in Silverdale following a “minor collision” between the two men’s vehicles on the Northern Motorway. The pensioner’s son told the Herald the retired mechanic pulled over at Highgate Parkway after allegedly being “tailgated” by the businessman’s luxury 2019 supercar south of the Millwater turnoff.
The elderly man claims he was repeatedly punched about the head and thrown to the ground during the ensuing altercation before driving home and being taken to an emergency medical clinic for treatment..
