Victim of racist hit-and-run attack in Bristol 'left traumatised and scarred for life'

Pretty awful story. Is it really 2020?

I hope the police catch the perpetrators and a court locks them up, for a long time!
 
He works at the same trust as me.
A few days before one of my colleagues was racially abused and threatened walking on the street on her way to work by young lads in a car matching the description of the one that mowed this chap down ...

K-Dogg attack case: Four men charged after Bristol NHS worker and rapper 'hit by car and racially abused'

“The Crown Prosecution Service reminds all concerned that criminal proceedings against these four men are active and that they have the right to a fair trial. It is extremely important that there should be no reporting, commentary or sharing of information online which could in any way prejudice these proceedings.”

A trial date has been set for 2 September 2024 - over four years after the attack - with a trial estimate of four weeks at Bristol Crown Court.
 
Bristol Crown Court has heard that an NHS worker was deliberately run over by men wearing face coverings who shouted racial abuse at him as was lying injured on the ground.

Katungua Tjitendero was seriously hurt after he was hit by a Honda car that mounted the pavement as he made his way home from work on the afternoon of 22 July 2020 near Southmead Hospital. He he was flung onto the windscreen and the concrete blocks of an impacted wall fell to the ground and suffered a fractured fibula, fractured nose and lacerations to his head and both shins and required surgery led by a plastic surgeon.

The trial continues.

Black NHS worker 'deliberately run over by racist yobs' who 'yelled the N-word' as he lay injured
 
On 26 September 2024, a jury unanimously convicted Phillip Adams and Patrick James of conspiracy to inflict grievous bodily harm on NHS worker Katungua Tjitendero, after he was struck by a blue Honda Accord car as he walked along the pavement to a bus stop near Southmead Hospital in Bristol on the afternoon of 22 July 2020 after his shift.

Phillip Adams who is believed to been the driver of the Honda that knocked down Katungua Tjitendero fled to Dubai ahead of his trial and was sentenced in his absence on earlier today to six years in prison, while Phillip Adams was jailed for eight years and six months.

Phillip Adams was also convicted of causing grievous bodily harm with intent in relation to a similar attack in Avonmouth, Bristol, on 12 July 2020 in which cyclist Julian Ford was hit by a car as he cycled along a pavement.

Julian Ford suffered a rib fracture, a haemothorax, a lung injury and blood in his chest. The attack on him only came to light after Patrick James was arrested in connection with the attack on Katungua Tjitendero and a video was recovered from his mobile phone which showed a car mounting the pavement and hitting a cyclist.

After Katungua Tjitendero was hit, Phillip Adams and Patrick James - one wearing a Scream mask and the other a balaclava or scarf - ran from the car.

They were seen giving each other a thumbs-up and appeared to be congratulating themselves about what they had done, their trial heard.

Two other men, Jordan McCarthy and Daniel Whereatt denied a charge of conspiracy to inflict grievous bodily harm on Katungua Tjitendero and were acquitted by the jury.

Judge Moira Macmillan said:

“A racial slur was used by one of you. This was a terrible thing to do to another person, let alone to celebrate it.

“It is very hard for those who have heard the evidence to understand your behaviour and your motivation.”
