On 5 August 2006 the owner of a Vietnamese take-away was forced to stop his van by four young men who threatened him with death and an attack on his take-away. The attackers damaged the van with bottles and by kicking it. After failing to escape from the roundabout he hit the accelerator, striking and slightly injuring one of the attackers. The Vietnamese man went straight to the police and reported the incident. An investigation was opened against the men, who were under the influence of alcohol, on charges of threat, intimidation and criminal damage. Two adults were given fines of 600 and 400 Euro. One of them appealed against the sentence. One juvenile was cautioned and ordered to pay compensation of 250 Euro to the victim.
