Hi. I'm alive. That's the good news.
However, there was a series of incidents which took place on my commute that involved the Police and a trip to A&E for me (no lasting injuries, it seems).
It all took place between the Oval Junction A3 Clapham Rd crossing A202 Camberwell New Road, and the turning of Kennington Park Place northbound about 0815 onwards this morning
A number of cyclists were witnesses to one or other part of the events, but, as I was dealing with an unstable cabbie at the time, I was unable to take details. I would like to thank all those who stopped to help, check I was OK, and the chap who kindly picked up my bike and carefully leaned it against some railings.
If you saw any of the following, I (and the Police) would be keen to hear from you:
1. Taxi sideswiping me on the junction (I was not knocked off, but was injured)
2. Taxi driver getting abusive after being stopped
3. Taxi driver hitting me and grabbing my bike, throwing it to the gutter while I was on the phone to the emergency services
4. Taxi driver yelling at me to disrupt the emergency call
5. Taxi driver attempting to drive away from the collision, apparently happy to run me over in the attempt.
6. Taxi driver's second assault of me.
When I left the scene, the Police were still considering whether to arrest the driver. I have not been able to be in touch for an update.
Please PM me your contact details if you can help.
I'm not going to say more online just now (though I am posting this request in other fora) because I am determined these crimes will be prosecuted.
