Australian Charged In Parking Rage Case
Brisbane, Australia -- A man appeared in court Wednesday charged with beating up a 79 year-old great-grandmother during an argument over a parking space in an east Australian city.
Robert Kenyon, 54, appeared in the Brisbane Magistrates Court charged with the serious assault of a person over 60.
Police claim Kenyon shoved Patricia White in the back after she refused to give up her space at a shopping center in Brisbane last month.
She fell on her face, breaking her nose and snapping two ribs.
Kenyon, who did not enter a plea, was released on bail and ordered to reappear in court on Sept. 9.
His lawyer, Peter Shields, told reporters that Kenyon was "deeply sorry" for the incident.
"People make genuine mistakes and then they are remorseful," he said. "My client is doing everything he can to rectify what was a traumatic situation for all involved."
