Hit by a bottle of piss

They do that on the trains, if you assault the ticket person or whatever, and have left any DNA in the process, then they will be after your bum for it!

Does it? I post from a standpoint of no scientific knowledge, but once asked a forensic scene investigator this question as we had such a sample. The reply was that urine is 'extremely unlikely, almost negligible chance' to contain DNA and they wouldn't test it.

Spit on the other hand they love, as it often contains skin cells from a cheek, which have plenty of DNA.

Riding home from Church one Sunday morning got overtaken by a chavmobile and the driver lobbed a full bottle of something at me over his car. Unfortunatly for him he didn't understand the laws of phsyics, ie wot goes up must come down, and didn't throw it hard enough so it came down on the back of his car just below the rear window, put a bit of a dent in the metalwork missed me completly and shot off into the verge. The whole episode didn't even slow me down but did give me a bit of grin at the thought of him explaining the dent if it was somebody elses car.

Come on, you're extracting the urine now

There are some proper dirty bastards out there.

I count myself lucky that I've only had one incident of something being thrown. That was an almost-finished bag of sweets, which hurt more than you might expect as it came off a bridge. It hit me on the back of the neck - Thank goodness it wasn't anything worse!

I think you have been watching too much CSI. Urine does not contain DNA. Any DNA will be present in epithelial cells sloughed off from the inside of the uretha or further up the urinary tract. The number of these cells in urine is very low or none. However if there was any semen in the urinary tract which transferred to the bottle then there MAY be a chance of obtaining a DNA profile from any spermatoza ending up in the bottle, but this would be a very slim chance. Alternatively there may be saliva around the opening of the bottle if it had previously been drunk from. Hope this helps.

Think yourselves lucky, it isn't just bikes people throw things at, Rowing in Glasgow, you get neds throwing things at you from the passing bridges, including glass bottles.

One story I heard (second hand from a doctor, I don't know any other details) was that someone threw a slab off one of the bridges once and it hit a girl on the head, leaving her with brain damage. As a result, I as a rule ALWAYS look to see if anyone is standing on the bridge coming up and if they look dodgy or not. I have never had anything thrown at me yet, but I did come across a couple of people throwing what looked like books off a bridge, i.e. disposing of them.

Think you are referring to spit kits which bus drivers in certain parts of the country are issued with (Leeds not being one of them though)

When I was about 16 my pals and I were waiting for a train to Tynemouth when some yob lobbed a milk bottle at us from the station footbridge. One lad spotted it coming and shouted a warning, we scattered and it smashed right on the bench we'd been sitting on. Very nasty.

One of the reasons I got a helmet cam was when I stopped to let a car drive past on a double-parked street and someone in the rear spat lemonade into my face. I have also had a whole bottle (luckily, plastic) of Coca Cola thrown onto me from a footbridge over the Bristol Railway path.

I was photographing at Dalmuir station once (asking for trouble, I know), and there were a bunch of neds being a bunch of right twats (the Police had been called) on the platform furthest away from me (they were on platform 5, myself on 1). They obviously saw the camera, and the first I knew about it I had a large stone fly straight past my right ear at a great rate of knots.

What amazed me was the fact that whoever had thrown it should really have been a javelin thrower because they were practically at the other end of the station (no exaggeration!), and yet, the stone still had a LOT of force in it! I don't know what the distance was, but it certainly was quite a long way!

Never mind almost getting thwatted by a large stone, I was just impressed by the strength required to get it to where it was!
