A cycle rage thug who attacked a pensioner, leaving him with a fractured eye socket and cheekbone, has had his sentence further deferred until next month.
Graeme Brankin followed the 70-year-old from Dundee city centre after an argument over right of way and struck him with such force his glasses and hearing aid fell off.
Brankin, a prisoner at Perth, was found guilty of assaulting the pensioner by repeatedly striking him on the head, causing him to fall from his bicycle to the ground, to his severe injury, between Greenmarket and Roseangle on September 2 2013.
He was also found guilty of assaulting another male by repeatedly punching him on the head, knocking him to the ground, rendering him unconscious to his injury, at the pavement entrance to Claypotts Park, Arbroath Road, on August 9 last year.
A trial heard the pensioner was on his bike in the High Street when he heard shouting behind him.
The pensioner cycled off but later sensed someone behind him.
In a separate assault, a Broughty Ferry man was hit by Brankin in a park and woke up later in hospital.
A witness to the assault said Brankin screamed at the man before resting his bike and punching him in the face.
Sentence was deferred until February 20 and Brankin was remanded in custody.
