Thug who punched bank manager four times in the face breaking his nose is let off with a caution because he said he was SORRY to police Ryan Gough was punched by an unnamed biker for 'cutting him up' But Leicestershire Police said a caution was the most appropriate action A thug who broke a bank manager's nose in an unprovoked assault has been let off with a caution - because he said sorry. Ryan Gough, 41, was punched in the face four times outside his girlfriend's home in the road rage attack last Saturday afternoon. The unnamed biker knocked on Mr Gough's car window as he was parking at the house in Asfordby, near Melton Mowbray, Leicestershire - and punched him for 'cutting him up'. Ryan Gough is still sporting a cut on his nose after the unprovoked attack in Asfordby last weekend Mr Gough was punched four times after moving his car on this street in the village of Asfordby, Leicestershire The 40-year-old suspect was caught minutes later by police but Mr Gough learned this week that his attacker had been let off because he had apologised for his actions. Mr Gough, from Tile Cross, Birmingham, has now complained to Leicestershire Police. Today he said: 'This was an unprovoked attack on another citizen and it should have been treated as an assault. This is just living proof that overworked police, with their overflowing in-trays and prisons which are too full, have their hands tied. 'Sending someone to court is so costly that you can walk away scot-free after breaking someone's nose.' Mr Gough, who runs a branch of Barclay's in Sheldon, West Midlands, had been visiting his girlfriend's family, who live in two houses on the same street in the village. He had moved his car from outside one house to the other at 4.15pm when his attacker knocked on his window. He said: 'I wound the window down and he shouted that I had cut him up. Before the attack: Ryan Gough I had seen him in my mirror when I was driving, but he was nowhere near me. He had his helmet on, and some sort of protective biker gear. He then punched me in the face. I got out of the car and went to hold him, but I was restrained by people. So I went straight into the house and dialled 999. I was totally defenceless because I was sitting in the car, strapped in by my seat belt. My girlfriend and her family were extremely traumatised by the incident. The paramedics told me I had got a fractured nose. I am not looking for any sympathy. But I would like this case to be reviewed based on the behaviour of the assailant. He is clearly a danger to society. Mr Gough has suffered daily nose bleeds since last week and still sports a cut on his nose. Leicestershire Police said today they were just following national guidelines. A spokesman said: 'Police were called to a report of an assault in Bradgate Lane, Asfordby at 4.15pm on Saturday, February 16. On interviewing the offender, he fully admitted the offence and was remorseful for his actions. Officers have a number of disposals available to them. In these circumstances, due to the nature of the offence, in line with national guidelines, a caution was deemed the most appropriate disposal.
