Three bin men faced a terrifying ambush that changed everything for them. Their daily routine turned into a nightmare, leaving them with lasting scars and trauma.
Stoke-On-Trent: It was just another day for three bin men until everything changed. They were attacked by a gang while doing their job, and it was terrifying.
The trouble started after a near-miss between a bin wagon and a car. Joe Corden, the driver of the car, lost his cool and things escalated quickly. He and his friends came back to ambush the bin men.
One of the bin men had a gun pointed at him. Can you imagine? He said he’s been struggling with flashbacks and nightmares since that day. After 38 years of service, he had to quit.
Another victim suffered a stroke, but doctors couldn’t confirm if it was linked to the attack. The third man was punched multiple times and needed hospital treatment. He returned to work but had to go back on sick leave later.
Corden, the driver, was fueled by codeine and acted violently. He even smashed the bin wagon with a sign from his car. The whole thing was caught on dashcam, which is just wild.
In court, Corden pleaded guilty to several charges, including assault and possession of a weapon. His friends, Spackman and Worthington, also faced serious charges. They’re all in custody now, waiting for their sentences.
This incident has left the bin men with deep scars, both physically and mentally. It’s a reminder of how quickly things can turn dangerous, even in everyday jobs.
