    Austrian sky diver Felix Baumgartner has been convicted of punching a lorry driver during a road-rage incident in 2010. Baumgartner was driving in Salzburg when he overtook a queue of four cars waiting at a roundabout, only for his car to become wedged in front of the other drivers.

    Baumgartner pleaded self-defense – claiming that he only punched after the lorry driver aimed a kick at him. But the victim, a Greek trucker named Dimitrios P, disputes that claim.
    The reality is that he punched me full in the face with his fist and left me with a cut. There was blood everywhere. I never tried to conceal anything in court – I admitted that I had tried to kick him but it was only in retaliation. He was just acting the tough guy and showing off and making himself a hero, but he isn’t a hero at all.

    Baumgartner had appealed the conviction but has now officially lost, and was ordered to pay €1 500.
