Police tape (CC licensed by freefotouk on Flickr)SUV passenger punches two cyclists in road rage attack
A passenger in an SUV is being sought by police following a road rage attack in which he punched two cyclists, knocking one of them unconscious.
Avon & Somerset Police say that the incident happened at around 1.50pm on Tuesday 24 May on Notting Hill Way in Weare, near Axbridge.
As well as rendering one of the cyclists unconscious, the man left the other with a cracked tooth.
Police say that the victims described the assailant as “being aged in his 30s or 40s, of large build with a ginger beard and shaved head.
“He wore what looked like gym clothing and may have had a ponytail.”
The SUV he was travelling in was black.
Anyone who saw the incident or who recognises the description of the man is asked to contact the force via the non-emergency number 101 quoting the reference number 5222123837, or by completing an online appeals form.
Alternatively, information can be given to the independent charity Crimestoppers, anonymously, on 0800 555 111.

Forward this article to Amanda Holden and the "comedian" and see if they still think it's funny to incite hate towards people who choose a bicycle rather than a car to get about.
Shaved head and a ponytail... what a combo.
with a ginger beard..
Not just cyclists that get attacked

"This shocking event was triggered by the car driver letting someone cross the road. The police have this evidence and I doubt he’ll be working for this company any more."
