Man, 81, Cited For Nudging Pedestrian With Vehicle

LA CROSSE, Wis. (AP) ― An elderly driver was cited after a pedestrian said he nudged her twice with his vehicle for walking too slowly. The 81-year-old man was cited Thursday for hit-and-run causing injury. He's scheduled to appear in La Crosse County Circuit Court on June 4.

The woman, 54, said she was walking in the parking lot of a movie theater on a Friday evening last month. She told police the man's car approached from behind and bumped into her thigh twice.

She said she was bruised but not seriously hurt.

The man denies hitting the woman. Police reports quoted him as saying he was driving behind her when she "turned around and went ballistic."
