Nadeem Hussain who rammed into horse rider jailed for 10 Months

A white van driver who rammed his vehicle into a horse and rider has been jailed.

A judge branded Nadeem Hussain a bully and said he had used his vehicle as a weapon.

Hussain was driving along a country lane when Charlotte Watmough signalled for him to slow down. Instead, the father of five skidded to a halt and got out of his vehicle.

Words were exchanged before Hussain got back into his van and drove forwards a few feet, past the horse and rider.

He then slammed it into reverse and drove into Miss Watmough's mount, Merlin, pushing him into a wall.

The animal panicked and reared up, causing the rider to lose her stirrups and have to fight to stay in the saddle.

Merlin, a 12-year-old Anglo Arab, was later seen by a vet, who found he had suffered bruising to his fetlock.

Miss Watmough, 20, who has ridden regularly since she was three, was left traumatised, with a sore arm, shoulders and neck, caused by the force with which she had to hold on to the horse.

Hussain, 31, drove off after the incident in Baxenden, Accrington, Lancashire, but the rider noted his registration number and he was later arrested. Read More
