So the assault has now been reported and police will be speaking to me again in next few days, and will hopefully have enough evidence for prosecution once they track the vehicle. They took the incident seriously enough. In terms of any provocation, I don't think i should say anything in case of any legal reasons, but even if there was, it's still assault and hit and run.
The police told me to remove the bottle from the bag without touching it, and place it somewhere else, as the bag can rub off finger prints.
In terms of damage: the bike has buckled wheels, buckled muduards (fitted today!), bent handle bars, destroyed bar tape, damaged spd pedals, probably damaged headset, possibly damaged forks, possibly damaged front brake, and torn clothing and dented helmet.
Plus the fact that I have to pay for public transport now.
