Not a good situation i find myself in and for once i feel not of my own making.
I sit here nursing a damaged right hand with swollen knuckles and a gash at the top of a finger.
I went out for my normal mid day dog walk around 1.30pm. Whilst walking past a house a dog came out of a front garden and attacked my dog which Was on a lead. The dogs went for it at my feet and not wanting to put my hand in i just let fly with one big kick. Not aimed at either dog just a separating stop the fighting kick. I hit the other dog and it went flying off and the fight stopped. Sorted i thought.
Anyway no sooner had i kicked out when the guy whose dog it was came flying out the garden screaming YOU kicked my dog and started throwing punches at me.
So i stepped back and made him miss and give him a good jab which made him step back a bit. He wasn't happy and flew into a rage lashing out again.
Instinct took over and i gave him two almighty right hooks connecting better than i would have liked to be honest. My hand was smashed and pouring with blood and damage was immediete to his face.
He was odviously concussed and his wife had come out shouting at him to leave it.
Anyway i walked off nursing my damaged hand and trying to stop the bleeding.
Coming back home i felt terrible even though i was doing nothing more than defending myself i took No pleasure at all in hitting him. I had no choice what so ever apart from roll up on the floor and take a kicking because i kicked his dog to stop both dogs fighting.
My dog is a staffy and if i had let him he would have ripped his dog to bits which is something i could Not let happen. Kicking the pair of them stopped the fight immedietly and as my dog was fully under control i really feel he is to blame for the whole incident.
Of course now i sit here waiting to see if i will be arrested for assault and there is the stress.
I have had a very chequered past but have been out of trouble for over ten years now and through no fault of my own i am drawn back into this crappy scene.
I rang the coppers and a P.C came round to hear my story and to be directed to the house. I wanted someone to let me know if the guy was alright.
We went round in the cop car and i pointed out the house but after the PC knocked we found knowone in. PC reckons there was a lot of blood on the pavement and he has probably gone to hospital.
What's worrying for me is although he attacked me and i only defended myself and did hold back on the damage i inflicted i know the punches i landed were Very heavy and damaging.
All this over a dog fight. I really can't understand him attacking me as i am fairly big and there really was no need. I can only put it down to him having a very bad temper and just losing control.
The PC put a note through the door letting him know it had been reported and giving him the oppurtunity to respond.
All i can hope is that he knows he was in the wrong and just lets it go.
Why did he attack me i hate being violent i really messed up his face even though i only hit him a couple of times.
Anyway i would appreciate your thoughts on the matter and please no glory posts.
I do not feel bad for what i have done as it was Completely self defence but i take no pleasure in inflicting injury deserved or not.
