MAN’S ARMS GASHED

Punched Through Car Window (N Z. Press Association) WELLINGTON, May 2. Standing on the running board and punching his fists through the window of his son's speeding car in Lower Hutt last evening, a middleaged man wrestled with the steering wheel while blood poured from severed veins in his arms. The man, it was reported, had tried to stop his son, aged 18. from going out in his (the son's) car. The car finally ploughed through a fence and stopped only inches from a house just after 7 pun. Bleeding profusely, the father was throwm to the ground. He was rushed to the Lowep Hutt Hospital by ambulance. He is reported to have spent a comfortable night Standing on the running board as the car moved along Waiwhetu road, the father had punched his fists through the window in an effort to stop his son. and cut his own arms.

During the ambulance's dash, a constable sat in the back holding a pressure point of the injured man's arm. A tourniquet had been applied to the other arm.

A full inquiry into the property damage from the incident, and other alleged offences, would have to be completed before it could be determined whether charges w’ould be laid, said Inspector R A. Moore, of the Lower Hutt police, this evening. A domestic quarrel that moved out on to a street, and caused damage to property, became a matter for police investigation, he said.
