Leicestershire Police are searching for a man (pictured) who allegedly assaulted a cyclist as he pushed his bike across the road.
The assault took place in Leicester on Wednesday 7 October at around midday, on Groby Road at the junction with Blackbird Road .
The victim was pushing his bike across Groby Road beside the medical centre when he was involved in a verbal altercation with the driver of a black vehicle. During the altercation the driver assaulted the victim.

The man with the bicycle wasn’t injured but was left “quite shocked” by the incident, according to police.
Leicestershire Police ask anyone who recognises the man in the image (hi-res image here), has information about the incident or suspicions about who the man is, to contact PC 2094 James Highton on 101.

I love how wannabe racer reviewers talk about fork flex under braking like their tyres are made of glue. I find traction gives long before fork flex.

Now question...will the fine for assaulting a cyclist be greater than that for stopping in the the box junction??
"The driver of a black vehicle assaulted a man who was pushing his bike across the road"
So he assaulted a pedestrian, then?
The car looks like a Mondeo going by the rear light design.
Why didnt the cyclist chap manged to get his registration aswell with a photo? there must of been time given the chap(polite) hasn't got in his car yet.
Do you reckon that vehicle is 'taxed'?
He looks like he has shit himself
Damn you beat me to it. Definitely a mouth breather
He looks like a knuckle dragger.
Surely a chap of such tonsorial elegance and sartorial achievement couldn't do such a thing?
