Thetford cyclist has neck sliced open after someone strung a rope across a path
The cyclist suffered 'extensive lacerations'
A cyclist has been left with wounds to his neck after it was sliced open by a rope left strung between two trees across a busy path.
Police have issued a warning after the 25-year-old cyclist was left with "extensive lacerations" to the neck on a popular throughway in a wood in Thetford, Norfolk.
The man was cycling through the wood on Edinburgh Way on Monday, August 24 in the evening when the incident took place.
Police were also made aware that wood containing nails has been placed at head height down the alleyways from Edinburgh Way and Durham Way used by cyclists.
PC Nik Harris: “We are concerned as these throughways are sometimes used by cyclists on their way to from work. We do not know why the rope and wood has been put in place but it may be in attempt to discourage cyclists and bikers.
“We would ask you report anti-social behaviour in the areas to police rather than take matters into your own hands if this is the case. Although we know these routes are not strictly meant for cyclists or bikers we do not want to find people are being seriously injured.”
Anyone with information should contact PC Nik Harris on 101 quoting crime reference: 36/60081/20.
