Braintree: Nurse speaks out after cat hurled at car

Yobs hurled a cat and concrete at a car on a dual carriageway and then cheered as the driver lost control.

The 53-year-old driver feared she would die in the attack on the A131 near Great Leighs racecourse when about seven teenagers flung a two-foot-wide concrete block at her white Ford S-Max.
