The motorcyclist fell backwards landing on the footpath and once on the ground, Hampton and a man who had been a passenger in the car began punching the man in the head, at least six times. The man was left with a cut and swollen cheek and tenderness to his jaw. His helmet was damaged in the interaction. In an unrelated event last December, Hampton was driving on Halifax St when he was stopped by police for not wearing a seatbelt. He was found to be driving while disqualified from an earlier drink-driving offence. A breath test gave a reading of 512 micrograms per litre of breath.

Hardinge Park, Patna s famed garden built in honour of the viceroy who was instrumental in the creation of Bihar and Orissa as a separate province and which hosted the Prince of Wales a century ago, on Sunday completed 105 years, albeit shorn of its heritage identity.
Named after Viceroy Lord Hardinge and built as Patna s first public park, it was opened on January 31, 1916 by then Lt Governor of the province Sir Edward Gait, who had also unveiled a five-tonne life-size bronze statue of the viceroy, in full Durbar regalia.
