"Police in Birmingham have issued a picture of a hooded man they want to speak to after a cyclist was pushed into a canal in an attempted bikejacking "
More detail is needed, if the cyclist was in the canal, how did they fail to make off with his bike? or did that also end up in the canal?
It's bothering me that the balaclava looks like it needs straightening.
If you can't adjust your dress appropriately, you have no business pushing other people into the canal. Sort yourself out, young sir!
The mugging game has changed recently, and not for the better. When I was young muggers had respect - they'd always be immaculately turned out. It showed they really cared about the job. These days they all want to work from home in their jim-jams
Hear hear! Like 'em or not, those old time hoods had style.
Aye, and they loved their mums, can't say they didn't....
