HOUSTON, Texas (KTRK) — A Houston man was covered in scrapes and bruises after his run-in with a landscaping crew in the city’s Gulfgate Riverview/Pine Valley neighborhood last week.
Henry Heron said he was a passenger in his dad’s car on April 30 when they stopped on Beatty Street near Buford to allow a delivery van to pass.
“Soon as he stopped, we got hit from behind by this gardening truck,” Heron said in an interview ONLY ON 13.
Heron said four men were inside the truck, which he said was white with a black trailer hitched to the back.
“I was like, ‘Hey, I need insurance,'” Heron recalled.
But Heron said the truck’s driver argued with him and blamed Heron and his father for the accident.
“I’m like, ‘No, I need the paperwork, I need the paperwork.’ And they were like, ‘Oh, you’re spitting in my face,'” he recalled.
Heron said two more men got out of the truck, and then they and the driver started advancing toward him.
Coming up on Eyewitness News at 6:30 p.m., the victim goes into detail about what said was an attack and the one thing he did to fight back. That’s all ONLY ON ABC13.
