Taylor Landscaping - Runovers and assault Cyclist

[Bollo]

Made me laugh reading this and seeing @Luke Redpath's photo right underneath.

I spotted that as well, but couldn't get to a keyboard in time

Well that escalated quickly - it's on the BBC news site now, as well as Mail, Telegraph, etc.

It certainly did. I think DrMoroch0 (the person who re-uploaded the video) has had nearly 70k views.

Doesn't say if said person is the victim or assailant. Investigation has now been rightly passed over to the Met police.

Edit: news reports including BBC and Mail seem to suggest it was the assailant that handed himself in to Chelmsford police station.

So apparently Havering police were aware of this as the cyclist reported it when it happened in December but chose not to press charges.

So it's down to the police and CPS if they want to pursue it. Bet the dont.

If that was me I'd want the book thrown at that ape. He'll probably do something like this again and this time it could have a worse outcome.

I can't blame the cyclist if he doesn't want to be at the centre of a media storm.

Message to Motorist: Go on an anger management course, you were very lucky to get away with it this time

Message to cyclist:
Don't cycle in the gutter
Don't undertake traffic coming up to a junction especially not with traffic turning into the junction
Don't gob off to random blokes in white vans - especially when between them and the kerb (Would you gob off at a builder who happened to get in your way walking on the pavement....?

He'll have learned an important lesson about the use of social media then.

I think he tweeted it, Dr Morocho picked it up and it went bonkers.

Yeah, I'm sure he'll take that advice on board and will be seeking out counselling for his anger management issues as we type....
