And we can reveal Fraggle - son of late crime kingpin Jamie Daniel - is now said to be wearing a bulletproof vest over fears of further violence.
Details of the motor attack emerged in the latest episode of a true crime doc charting the history of the long-running feud between Glasgow's notorious Lyons and Daniel gangs.
Speaking exclusively to The Scottish Sun, investigative journo Livvy Haydock said: 'One source told us of yet another attack involving Jamie Daniel's son, Francis 'Fraggle' Green, in which a masked and armed man appeared in a van outside his gates.
'And then when the gate opens, Francis actually rams them so hard that they end up abandoning their vehicle.
"So it feels like there's a lot going on.'
And an insider said: 'Fraggle is no easy touch.
"He'll always fight back.
"But he's understandably on edge.
"It's claimed he's now wearing a bulletproof vest.'
The heightened tensions come amid a raging turf war that began in March when Dubai-based hood Ross 'Miami' McGill began targeting associates of caged Edinburgh kingpin Mark Richardson, 38.

The carnage then spread from the capital to Glasgow where members of the notorious Daniel crew came under fire amid the worst escalation of gangland violence in years.
So far Police Scotland has made 55 arrests under Operation Portaledge - a crackdown on the ongoing violence that's included firebombings and machete murder bids.
Fears of worse to come had been brewing and then on Saturday, May 31, Lyons gang kingpins Ross Monaghan, 43, and Eddie Lyons, Jnr, 46, were shot dead in Spain, Fuengirola.
Meanwhile, moves are afoot to bring one of Scotland's most wanted hoods - Stephen 'Jimmy' Jamieson - back from Dubai where he's been hiding out for years in a bid to dodge justice.
A bonus episode of Gangster: The Story of the Daniels and the Lyons will be available to hear on BBC Sounds from tomorrow.
