A NIGHTCLUB doorman had a lucky escape after thugs tried to petrol bomb his car as he drove to work.
The man, who has not been named, was leaving his home in East View, Dipton, to drive to work at the Trades nightclub in John Street, Consett, when the attack happened.
Detectives said the doorman described hearing a thud at the back of his car as the petrol-filled milk bottle bounced off the vehicle. It then exploded on the road behind him.
The attack took place last Friday at about 9.30pm.
Anyone with information is asked to telephone Stanley Police on (01207) 232144.
