Police tape (CC licensed by freefotouk on Flickr)Police appeal after man hospitalised in TdF fan zone assault in Sheffield
Were you at the Tour de France event at Jenkin Hill, Wincobank Common, Sheffield, to watch the race on the big screen yesterday? South Yorkshire Police have issued an appeal for witnesses after a man needed hospital treatment following an assault there – and they believe other attendees may have caught the incident in photos or videos.
Police say that the victim, a 32-year-old man, sustained facial injuries and cuts to his back during the incident at around 3.15pm,which was before the peloton tackled the nearby climb of Jenkin Hill. The man is in hospital in a stable condition, and his injuries are described as non-life threatening.
They believe the assault was "an isolated, targeted attack," and add: “Hundreds of race fans were at the park at the time. It happened to the left of the large spectators’ screen that had been set up for the event, and police believe it’s likely someone witnessed what happened.”
They add that “Officers are also keen to hear from members of the public who recorded footage today and may have captured the incident on film.
“Did you witness the assault? Or perhaps you have footage that could help with our enquiries?”
Anyone who has information is requested to get in touch with South Yorkshire Police quoting incident number 773 of 06/07/2014.

That's called a puncture 🤣🤣
I am completely fed up with entitled motorists coming to a cycling website and creating an account solely in order to troll. Give it a rest!
👍🏼 IMHO, one of the main things to look out for is butted tubes, double or even tripple butted. ride safe and have a great Christmas
Ah yes, just spotted where "performance line" is quoted on the website. Couldn't see any that fall into both 'evolution' and 'performance' line...
TRP cable-actuated hydraulic calipers, haven't tried them myself but reviews generally rate them as better than cable-only brakes such as Sora. I...
And we can be sure that Police Scotland would be similarly disinterested...
The self-professed cyclists are really self-claimed cyclists of the 'I'm a cyclist myself' variety
They should read scampercraft and not exaggerate the danger of scuttling along. I discourage squirrel predation by acting like one.
You can get the Varia for £10 less from Decathlon.
Perhaps they should apply the same standard to dangerous, unsafe, poorly designed roads and COMPLETELY rip them out rather than "fix" or "redesign"...
