A man from Bolton has been given a suspended prison sentence after punching and racially abusing a stranger in the street.
Shortly after 10am on 30 July 2020, Andrew Ashton, 33, approached the man on Chorley Old Road in Bolton before punching him in the face and racially abusing him.
When the man asked Ashton why he had assaulted him, he told him it was because of the road rage incident the previous week. The man had never seen Ashton before.
When Ashton realised he had got the wrong man he made a racist comment before running away, leaving his bike behind.
