Police Scotland are appealing for information to try and track down a cyclist who assaulted a 72-year-old man as both were riding along a bike path in West Dunbartonshire.
The attack took place at around 9am last Saturday 31 October on the path between Dumbarton and Balloch, according to the Dumbarton and Vale of Leven Reporter.
The victim was pushed from his bike, causing him to injure his shoulder and his assailant, believed to be aged in his forties, attempted to punch him three times.
Police say the suspect was wearing a dark jacket and is thought to have been on a bicycle that was dark in colour with a small trailer attached to it.
Officers have asked anyone who has information about the incident to contact them on the non-emergency number 101 or alternatively via the charity Crimestoppers, anonymously, on 0800 555 111.

Completely off-topic but I notice that the author is described as being “more adept at cooking than fettling with bikes”. Hardly surprising as what/how would you fettle *with* a bike? Your backside? Otherwise you might fettle bikes – but not “with bikes”.
I’m leaving now.
