Cyclist arrested on suspicion of being drunk
Who else here drinks to excess? Hmmm.
http://www.bognor.co.uk/news/cyclist...ntre-1-3701872 A BOGNOR Regis cyclist has been bailed by police until May 18 after a pensioner suffered a broken hip in a collision. The 52-year-old male was arrested on suspicion of being drunk in charge of a pedal cycle and grevious bodily harm. He was released while detectives make further inquiries into the accident with a woman, aged 72, also from Bognor. It happened in Sudley Road, Bognor, about 2pm on Wednesday, April 4. A member of the public saw the collision and alerted the emergency services while following the cyclist into nearby Hotham Park and returning him to the scene until the police arrived. A Sussex Police spokeswoman said: "This was an unfortunate incident for the elderly woman - who has suffered a painful fracture - but, thankfully, remains in a stable condition. "I would like to thank the member of the public who helped the injured woman and showed great initiative by following the cyclist into a nearby park and persuading him to return to the scene. "We would like to hear from anyone else who witnessed the incident or saw a man wearing a black jacket and riding a bicycle along Sudley Road shortly before the collision." They should call 101 and quote serial 789 of 4/4. |
