Four men all deny conspiring to “unlawfully and maliciously” inflict grievous bodily harm to Katungua Tjitendero.
An NHS worker left seriously injured after being hit by a car has described how one of the men in the vehicle shouted a racial slur before running away, a court has heard.
Phillip Adams, 26, Patrick James, 22, Jordan McCarthy, 22, and Daniel Whereatt, 51, all from Bristol, deny conspiring to “unlawfully and maliciously” inflict grievous bodily harm to Mr Tjitendero. He said he had been looking at music videos on his phone and wearing headphones when he was suddenly "hit by a car"."They just got out of the car. As soon as they hit me, they left the car and ran off.Jurors heard that Mr Tjitendero suffered a fractured fibula, fractured nose and lacerations to his head and both shins in the incident.
He said that passers-by went to his aid, lifting him off a wall and applying bandages to his head to stop the bleeding. Anjali Gohil, prosecuting, told the jury it was the Crown's case that the blue Honda Accord estate - with Mr James and Mr Adams allegedly inside - was travelling around the Southmead area "looking" for Mr Tjitendero.
