Cyclist attacked by four men.
Safety in numbers as usual.
QUOTE: "Police in York are appealing for witnesses and information after a man was robbed and pushed into a river from a bridge. The 18-year-old victim was cycling along Clifton Bridge in the direction of Acomb, at about 1.05am on Saturday 23 July 2011, when four unknown men stopped him in the road. They forcibly took him to the bridge railings and searched his pockets, removing his wallet, mobile phone and passport. They then pushed the victim back against the railings and he fell about 8 metres into the River Ouse below. The man initially went under the water but was able to swim to safety without any apparent injury. He found his stolen possessions on the pavement over the bridge. A small amount of cash had been taken from the wallet." http://www.northyorkshire.police.uk/...articleid=7141 -- Simon Mason |

True, Simon does like to make out that these 10-stone weaklings in tights are somehow so terrifying that it takes at least 3 grown men to "do" them. I think the recent famous video where a lone car driver slaps one cyclist while 5 other cyclists play statues, puts paid to that theory. |

We will wait to see what sentence is handed out to him. -- Simon Mason |

If I was that cyclist and 5 of my mates just stood and watched, they wouldn't be my friends any longer. They could have restrained him while waiting for the Police to arrive but bottled it. Either that or they knew he deserved it, no doubt the memory stick containing the *entire* incident in question has been "formatted and re-used". |
