A CYCLIST has been attacked with an axe and strangled with his helmet
strap as he made his way to work across the Eston Hills, near
Middlesbrough.
Harry Alexander took a short cut across to the Eston Nab yesterday
morning, Thursday, when he was attacked by a group of men.
He was attacked with an axe handle and kicked in the face.
He said: "Lads turned up as I was wheeling back, escorted me with a
beating, a few axe handles to the legs, strangled with my helmet strap
while I was down, a few kicks to the face and one of them shouted
"enough, get him gone now boys'."
He said he was then kicked in the ribs with a steel toe cap, before
being threatened.
Mr Alexander's bike was "battered" and his Garmin sat nav destroyed.
He was later treated in hospital for his injuries.

ROTFPMSL!* I wish there was a video.
And I thought helmets were supposed to* protect you?
Against axe attacks!? Are you sure you know what you are saying.
