This happened to me in Blackpool last year, the lad was about 12 or 13? He raised his arm in a throwing gesture in my direction of travel. I heard the impact of a shard of red brick bounce off the boot lid and across the rear window screen. Because I had seen him raise his arm I was already looking in my rear view and was aware that their was no traffic behind me. I hit brakes with an intentional degree of violence and slammed the car in to reverse cutting off his intended escape route. The little bastard went very white and I’m sure he started crying, he shot off down a side street which I followed him down at a safe speed, I parked up half way down the street and followed him on foot until he lost me in some other poor person’s garden. I knew I wouldn’t catch him, and if I did I knew I couldn’t hit the little ****. My intention was to show him that he was vulnerable and could be challenged. I think he got the message.
