Angry old man assaults lone female cyclist - there's a good photo of the coward though.
Usual MO - single woman = easy target for men with small man syndrome.

I'm glad the police are treating it as assault, though I do wonder what else they'd think it would be...?

Attempted murder, perhaps?


Seems she was cycling IN THE ROAD at the time.


In the road does not necessarily mean on the road.

The wording "...The woman was cycling ///on New Bridge Street///
(EMPHASIS MINE)..." does not mean that she was on the carriageway.
Exactly the same description of her whereabouts would be given if she
were cycling along the footway.

And if she were "on the road" (meaning on the carriageway), how could
her progress be logically described as "she fell into the road"? If she
fell off the bike, it would be described as "she fell onto the road".

But perhaps we are all expecting too much accuracy and literacy from
road.cc.
