Pensioner Has Mobility Scooter Seized By Police After Knocking Over Man Who Bought The Last Pasty
A pasty-provoked incident has gone viral, with the culprit of the dangerous act identified as a pensioner in a mobility scooter.
On Tuesday (December 12), police were on Mill Street, Bideford, Devon in the UK, after an elderly person used a mobility scooter to collide with a man outside a local bakery.
Footage shared on social media showed a man in the vehicle charging at another elderly man, who in turn was seen falling over as passersby were yelling at the angry driver.
A certain Oak Leigh claimed she saw the man “taking it out” on a few people nearby, as per LadBible.

A pasty is a British baked pastry made by placing an uncooked filling, typically meat and vegetables, in the middle of a flat shortcrust pastry circle, bringing the edges together in the middle, and crimping over the top to form a seal before baking.

Old git was very likely a young git at one point. Old age just gives such people a veneer of respectability they often don’t deserve.
