I could go into another long winding arguments, but why don't we let
the "punches" speak for themselves. Mind you, this is civilized
England and "pavement" means --I think-- sidewalk...
Cyclist punched Shipton Road pedestrian three times in face
A YOUTH has been locked up for giving a pedestrian a black eye in a
confrontation sparked by a 12-year-old cyclist riding on the pavement.
The 17-year-old attacker and his younger cousin were both cycling
along Shipton Road, near Rawcliffe Lane, said Bob Moore prosecuting.
“The pedestrian heard a loud noise behind him, jumped and turned
round,” said Mr Moore. “A child on a bicycle who was obviously the 12-
year-old rode past him very closely, but didn’t make contact.”
Then the 17-year-old rode up and said: “Why are you trying to hit a 12-
year-old?” The pedestrian said he wasn’t, but the 17-year-old repeated
his question and punched the man three times in the face before riding
after his cousin into nearby Homestead park.
