Hove cyclist beaten 15 times with hammer for riding too slowly
11:45am Friday 9th September 2011 in News By Anna Roberts, Crime reporter
A cyclist was hit up to 15 times with a hammer in a road rage attack.
Police believe the driver struck because he was irritated the 60-year-old cyclist was taking too long to ride up a hill.
Detective Constable Tony Taylor, said the cyclist, who was not wearing a helmet, was struggling against the wind preventing the driver from passing.
At least four members of the public watched in horror as the cyclist was beaten and hit up to 15 times, in Tennyson Road, Worthing on Wednesday, in what DI Taylor described as a “massive over-reaction”.
