Default Another cowardly attack

QUOTE:

WITNESSES are being sought by police after a cyclist was hit in the face in
Stafford. The 20-year-old from the Cannock area suffered facial and head
injuries in the attack, which happened as he was cycling home between 5am
and 6.30am on December 21. A Staffordshire Police spokesman said: "It
appears he was hit in the face by a man who got out of a silver car near to
the park in Lovatt Street. "The victim then cycled from the scene but
stopped shortly afterwards in Crispin Close, where a member of the public
saw him and called for an ambulance. "The man was treated at hospital for
his injuries before being released." offender has been described as white
and of large build. He was wearing a dark beanie hat and a grey hooded top.
Anyone who witnessed the assault or who saw the victim on his bike should
contact DC Paul Whitehouse on 01785 234205 or Crimestoppers, anonymously, on
0800 555 111.

I wonder what he did to provoke the attack?

Simple Simon Mason - who cycles at 25mph in 20mph limits just because the limits do not apply to cyclists.
This includes exceeding the speed limit past three schools. A total disregard for the well-being of vulnerable road users.
The actions of a true psycholist.

A man was arrested in connection with the above attack yesterday.
Let's hope the book is thrown at him in order to deter other idiots
from attempting the same:-)
