I was hit from behind tonight, twice, by a cab. I have the details and I have no idea what to do about it. The thing is that it absolutely was intentional - the fucker was trying to knock me off.
The first time he hit me he almost did knock me off. I couldn't believe it, I was in the middle of the lane following another cab and he just did it out of the blue. I turned around and yelled 'you hit me'; I couldn't think of anything else.
I thought he would back off, and he might have for a moment but then came back on my right side and started to push me over. I realised he was trying hard. I pulled over and he slowed down, and with a smile and a laugh like he's telling a joke he says, 'you're going to get knocked down you silly git (or maybe twat)'. Then he kept moving towards the left where I was. I just stopped and got the fuck behind him.
I wanted to report him because I honestly believe he's trying to hurt a cyclist. The police station was closed and the website is a nightmare trying to figure out how to do anything. Tips? Advice?
