Hi there,
My mate was cycling to work in Elephant this morning (just before 10am) and some crazy nutter (who was cycling along making threatening gestures at all the other cyclists) smacked him round the back of the head and then booted his bike out from underneath him (on the Walworth road).
He woke up in the ambulance 20 minutes later, Police were on the scene, etc. He had two broken fingers (and one dislocated one), severe concussion, shed loads of bruising and possibly a few fractures. Sounds like his bike is well and truly written off as well. He's been in Kings going through various scans all day and it sounds like it was pretty nasty.
I'm not sure if the police have caught the guy (I would hope so). There were several witnesses so that's a start (This isn't a plea for more witnesses- if you saw anything I would suggest contacting the police directly rather than putting anything on the forum). I'd like to preserve my mate's anonymity in case they do find him and the whole thing goes to trial.
I just wanted to say be careful and I hope he hasn't taken out anyone else...
