Harrogate bus driver, 80, allegedly punched at petrol station

An 80-year-old school bus driver was allegedly attacked as he filled up his coach with fuel in North Yorkshire.

The daughter of Keith Murgatroyd, from Harrogate, said it happened after her father asked a garage employee if he would lift a £30 limit on fuel.

Sophie Murgatroyd said the employee refused and then followed her father out of the garage shop and punched him.

North Yorkshire Police said the incident was under investigation. No arrests had been made, the force added.

Mr Murgatroyd, who operates a family-owned coach company, had gone to fill up at an Esso forecourt, Ms Murgatroyd told BBC Radio York.

"There was a sign on the pump saying there was a £30 limit, but that excluded HGVs.

"So he went into the shop to ask that the limit be taken off and the member of staff said he wouldn't."

(didn't paste the rest but the gist is here)

he was told no and he accepted that so what was the attendants problem ?

I suspect there is more to it, but clearly the attendant is a thug.
