Belgian Consul in Málaga, Claude de Hennin, who has lived in Spain for 41 years says he still cannot believe how he was attacked after an argument with his neighbours on Monday.He claims that he was run over by a British resident in his car at the doors of the Belgium Consulate in Mijas. Diario Sur reports he says he saw a child about five years old with a woman by the exit to the parking area and warned them he was about to drive out. The woman then turned to insult him in English, and he turned away and went inside.Later in the street though a British man with a dog came up to him and continued the insults. The Consul then called the local police and while he was waiting for them to arrive, the British man got into his British plated car to get away. The 70 year old Consul tried to block his escape, but the man started the car and ran into him, causing bruising to his right leg and arm.He said he wanted to thank the Guardia Civil, Local Police and doctor for his treatment and hoped that the case would be resolved quickly so he could forget about it all.
