  This kind of story rarely makes news. A friend of mine was accosted in Vicky Park a few years back at night (he was with pals). The assailant actually cut him at the throat leaving a pretty ugly scar. He was caught too after a cabby picked him up and clocked the knife. Never convicted though and not a drop of coverage by local media. Thoughts to the rider. Stay safe.

  We don't know if we are not contacted about it or police PR haven't alerted us.

  Sparky may correct me, but I think for such a story to be picked up more widely, it first has to go into local media, e.g. Hackney Gazette, East London Advertiser.

  Not necessarily, even as a small local news website, we sometimes break news that not only Hackney Gazette doesn't have, but also mainstream media.

  C'mon that's a lazy thing to say.....

  There wasn't any information out there about the attack. We were alerted by the police yesterday, the day after the cyclist was discharged from hospital.

  You will notice there is never a shortage of reporting attacks or bike accidents in local press.
