I think I've told this story before, but it's worth repeating. I worked with this guy who got done for this.
He had an altercation over a parking spot, punched the guy in the head, the guy fell back and whacked his head off a kirb stone but managed to walk away.
The guy I worked with came into work that day giving it Billy big bollocks about the parking space and how he punched the guy out. Three days later the guy died from a brain injury.
I honestly feel like punching someone in the head should be treated as a murder attempt. It's beyond dangerous, it ruins lives.
As an aside, my work kept him on for a bit after this, suspended him. Then they found out the guy had lied on his job application about previous criminal convictions. He'd been done for rape in the 1970's. They dropped him like a strawberry floating stone when pretty much every woman who worked there came to complain about it.
