Police tape (CC licensed by freefotouk on Flickr)Police appeal after cyclist’s leg broken in assault by pedestrian
Police in Leicester are appealing for witnesses after a pedestrian assaulted a cyclist in the city centre, leaving him with a broken leg.
Leicestershire Police say that the assault happened just after 8am on the morning of Monday 7 November in Gallowtree Gate near a branch of Boots.
The pair had reportedly been arguing and then, as the cyclist started riding towards Market Place, the same pedestrian confronted him and knocked him off his bike as well as repeatedly hitting him.
Police were called to the scene, as were the East Midlands Ambulance Service, who took the cyclist to hospital.
Investigating officer Detective Constable Neil Rawlings said: “I am looking to speak to anyone who may have seen the two men arguing in Gallowtree Gate or the subsequent assault in Market Place.
“It happened last Monday morning at a time when there would have been many people walking to work so the area was probably very busy. If you remember seeing something, please contact police.”
Anyone with information is requested to contact police on 101, quoting crime reference number 22*650908.
Alternatively, information may be given, anonymously, to the charity Crimestoppers on 0800 555 111.

Perfectly legitimate, just like when you put a land mine under the driver's seat
Impressed that it comes with a lighting kit and pedals. Looks like a non-series chainset and is a Micro shift cassette, though; off-brand callipers...
I am completely fed up with entitled cyclists whinging at every opportunity - it just gives others the opportunity to slag us off. Give it a rest!
They should read scampercraft and not exaggerate the danger of scuttling along. I discourage squirrel predation by acting like one.
You can get the Varia for £10 less from Decathlon.
Perhaps they should apply the same standard to dangerous, unsafe, poorly designed roads and COMPLETELY rip them out rather than "fix" or "redesign"...
