This is for Mr D. Bollen from Catford.

When are we going to ban these dangerous metal frames and wheels which are
the vehicle of choice for criminals?

Driver's window smashed with pool cue in Middlesbrough
Aug 18 2010 by Andrew Pain, Evening Gazette

POLICE are hunting two men who smashed a driver's car window with a pool
cue.

The incident occurred at around 7.30pm on Friday August 6 as the Vauxhall
Astra was travelling along Acklam Road in Middlesbrough.

As the car approached Newport Roundabout and turning onto the slip road for
the A66 westbound the driver was stopped in the road by a man on the
carriageway who was shouting abuse.

While this was happening a second man approached the now stationary Astra on
a pedal cycle.

The cyclist then smashed the window with a pool cue.

Both men then made off in the direction of Stockton Road.

They are both described as white and between 20 and 30-years of age.

The first was said to be of chubby build and wearing a blue tracksuit.

The second, the man on the bike, was of slimmer build and wearing a white
cap.

Anyone with any information is asked to contact PC Michael Robson on 01642
303126 or Crimestoppers on 0800 555111.

The driver had obviously rammed them & then taken a turn round the
block to meet them again.

I suspect that's why they want witnesses. Assault with a motor vehicle
is beginning to be treated rather more seriously.

Is it? You could have fooled me!

BTW, since I was accused of promoting anti-cyclist threads by posting
anti-motorist threads, I have set out to prove that it is not so by
taking a break. Low and behold! What happened? There are just as many
anti-cyclist threads, like this one, as usual.

LOL!
