Tooled up cyclist jailed for road rage attack

Looks like the cyclist picked on the wrong person to try and intimidate.

The court heard that there had been a near miss between Mr O’Neill’s car
and the defendant who was on a pedal cycle at the junction of Mill
Street and Kings Street.

Mr Timothy Harrington, prosecuting, said that the defendant had ridden
on but was weaving across the carriageway preventing Mr O’Neill from
passing him.

He said that Hassell then stopped, threw his bike to the ground, and
aimed a kick at Mr O’Neill’s car causing £250 damage to a door and wing
mirror.

“Mr O’Neill had been holding the defendant when Hassell was shouting
that he would “cut him” and he would “stab him”. Mr O’Neill was trying
to restrain the defendant,” said Mr Harrington.

The court heard that Hassell had produced a craft knife from his pocket
and was still making threats as Mr O’Neill knocked the weapon from his
hand. Hassell also had lock knife and some members of the public who
were nearby were told they would “also be stabbed”.
