The 29-year-old had raced across the town on his uninsured mini-motorbike, causing a misery for members of the public.

But a member of the public seemed to take the law into their own hands and appeared to get revenge on Mr Wood.

Terrifying footage shows the driver of an orange Fiat Punto ramming into Mr Wood - leaving him lying unconscious on the road with serious injuries.

Cops have now released the shocking clip in a bid to find the motorist.

SHOCKING FOOTAGE

The video captures the sound of Wood being forced into the parked van before bouncing off, leaving him lying in agony in the street.

He was in hospital for a week and officers later charged him with dangerous driving, driving under the influence of alcohol and drugs, and driving without a licence or insurance.

His criminality was discovered as part of the police investigation into the crash.

He was captured in shocking CCTV footage last July – and in one clip he strikes the mirror of a Nissan Qashqai.

Wood, of Pinxton, admitted all charges and was sentenced to eight months in prison, suspended for 18 months, at Nottingham Crown Court yesterday.

He also received a 12-month driving ban.

Detective Sergeant Scott Riley, from Derbyshire Constabulary’s Collision Investigation Unit, said: “Ashley Wood decided one morning that he was going to ride around on a mini motorbike, kicking the wing mirrors of cars parked across Pinxton.

“It’s clear from the CCTV footage that he had no regard for other people’s property, or indeed for other people’s safety.



RAMMED HEAD-ON

“He rides at speed along pavements and, during the course of our investigations, we discovered he was riding under the influence of drink and drugs.

“The consequences could have been much worse.

“However, there is a twist to this story. Shortly after he rode around kicking cars, Ashley Wood was pursued by an orange Fiat Punto.

“CCTV shows the car following him along Victoria Road before ramming him head-on into a parked van.

“The Punto was driven off, leaving Ashley at the scene with a number of extremely serious, but thankfully not life-threatening, injuries.

“We believe that this was a deliberate act, but we still do not know who was driving the Punto.

“Our investigation into that incident is still ongoing and I urge anyone who has information on the person or people responsible to ring us.”
