Disabled man 'used mobility scooter like battering ram' to knock over two pensioners, 88 and 90, at bus stop

A disabled man used his mobility scooter like a 'battering ram' to knock over two elderly women waiting at a bus stop, a court heard.



Former psychiatric nurse Aaron Ali, 40, allegedly reversed over Doris Collins, 88, and Joan Benjafield, 90, while they were out shopping in Welling, Kent, on June 14.



Ali is also accused of ambushing 72-year-old Michael Gibson in another random attack in nearby Woolwich High Street on January 2.



Ms Collins and Ms Benjafield were waiting to get on a number 96 bus when the ramp came down and Ali rode off on his scooter.



But Ali claims he had a 'diabetic crash' before running into the two women.
