Rider down at the junction of Byng Place/Gordon Square, 1900 yesterday.
Licensed taxi turning right towards Euston didn't give way to the cycle lane. Rider had to deviate to avoid hitting the car and fell off.
Rider suffered minor injuries to knees and shoulder. Was taken home and apart from being shaken up appeared fine.
2 other witnesses provided details.
**The odd thing
**The taxi driver refused to give insurance details because no contact had occurred. An off-duty police officer assisted and arrested the driver for refusing to provide details. The officer also ensured all details were shared.
If you heard shouting near the junction at 1900 last night, this was the reason - the driver didn't believe the officer was a policeman!
Don't worry about formatting, just type in the text and we'll take care of making sense of it. We will auto-convert links, and if you put asterisks around words we will make them bold.
Tips:
Create headers by underlining text with ==== or ----
To *italicise* text put one asterisk each side of the word
To **bold** text put two asterisks each side of the word
Embed images by entering: ![](https://www.google.co.uk/images/srpr/logo4w.png) That's the hard one: exclamation, square brackets and then the URL to the image in brackets.
* Create lists by starting lines with asterisks
1. Create numbered lists by starting lines with a number and a dot
> Quote text by starting lines with >

For syntax highlighting, surround the code block with three backticks:
```

Just like Github, a blank line must precede a code block.
If you upload more than 5 files we will display all attachments as thumbnails.

Thank you off-duty officer
