Was the knifeman wearing an apron or something? He looks like a waiter from a restaurant. It looks like a barney to me, not an unprovoked fanatical attack.

According to that article the weapon was a baton, not a knife.
The victim had every opportunity to make an escape, but didn't bother.
Handbags at thirty paces, and sensationalist reporting.

What do you base that on? Yes, it was a baton not a knife. But it sure as hell wasn't a handbag, and from what I could see, if the cyclist had attempted to do a runner - only possible by turning his back - the guy would have succeeded in belting him. I thought he displayed remarkable calmness and composure in the circumstances. Nasty. Glad to see people have been arrested.

"Police say two people have been arrested".
Just a hunch, but I wonder if the cyclist is the other person arrested? There is perhaps more to this story than is being seen from a short video clip.

There probably is, but I also wouldn't assume that police arrests mean anything (in the case of either person). It's not as if the police always get it right or even know what's going on, is it?

True. I believe a lot of them are climatoligists in their spare time. :whistle:

I thought the cyclist was quite restrained, If I was there i would of wrapped the bike around the attacker and given him a good kicking,

The piece says the 'waiter' has been falsely accused of being a fascist, and that the cyclist threw a beer bottle into his place, nearly hitting someone.
