This is clearly an attack carried out by complete scumbags.
However, an alternative point of view regarding the reporting is what has the fact he was riding a bike got to do with anything, other than to sensationalise (or otherwise) the headlines? A man was attacked by four youths, he happended to have been riding his bike at the time.
It's a bit like a 'Father of two attacked' headline. Is the emphasis on the fact the person was a father supposed to make the crime appear worse than if the victim was single and had no kids?
