I got a text from a mate last week that said:
"Hi, sorry to disturb u but a friend of mine just escaped being dragged off her bike tonight by a masked thug in the De Beauvoir area of Hackney between Essex Rd and Kingsland Rd. I've since learned another male friend was attacked in the same way and area and that a similar but worse story ws recently in the Guardian referring to a masked gang attacking 2 people. Please tell all local cyclists u know to be very careful in this area esp. at night. Thank u and keep cycling but not too slowly!"
So sounds like that it's an ongoing concern...
