A TAKEAWAY driver and his sons dodged jail after abusing and attacking a grandad with a tow bar over a row about a cold kebab and munchie box.
Sadik Yildirim, 58, has been given community service for hitting Jason Goldie, 50, with a metal pole after he moaned about how long it took to deliver his £35 Just Eat order.

He called in lads Erkan, 31, who rattled the victim’s windows in a bid to goad him out and Cerkez, 26, who brandished the weapon at shocked neighbours who tried to intervene.
The street rammy was filmed by residents and on a doorbell cam with footage played at Dumfries Sheriff Court.
Sheriff Colm Dempsey told the men: “This was a quite outrageous incident.
“You Sadik Yildirim should have just left instead of getting out of the car.
“By getting out the car and engaging with Mr Goldie, you simply exacerbated the situation.
“Your sons then became involved and matters completely spiralled out of control, completely disproportionate to what happened.”

Tempers flared when Mr Goldie accused Sadik Yildirim of dropping off food “two hours late and lukewarm from his family’s Dante’ shop in Dumfries.
He marched out and hurled the pitta meal into his motor and fumed: “Here’s your kebab.”
The driver struck him on the back as he walked away with a tow bar he pulled from the boot.
Mr Goldie grabbed a golf club from his home and hit him back before his sons turned up.
Cerkez shouted, swore and grabbed the metal pole and menaced the customer’s wife.
Takeaway boss Erkan banged their windows and tried to goad Mr Goldie to come up, yelling: “I swear I won’t leave here — come out and fight you f****** p****.”
Neighbours can be heard branding the brothers a “pair of bullies” and saying they can’t believe “this is all over a cold kebab” in footage of the row last July.

The court heard Cerkez “approached” onlookers with the metal bar “causing them to run inside and lock the doors”.
The trio only left when Mr Goldie’s wife called police after pleading with them to go.
Sadik Yildirim pleaded guilty to assault, while he and his sons admitted threatening and abusive behaviour at a hearing in January.

Erkan was also convicted of resisting arrest and Mr Goldie was fined for his part in the bust-up.
Defence lawyer Alasdair Bryce says Sadik believes he was hit first.
He said: “It was a discussion which became heated on the doorstep.
“Mr Goldie threw food in his face as he was sitting in the car.”
Sadik Yildirim was ordered to complete 100 hours of unpaid work within nine months, while his sons were each told to do 90 hours of community service.
