Police investigate report cyclist threatened and pushed mobility scooter rider cycling
Police in Southampton have appealed for information about an alleged assault on a footpath on the city's common last month which saw a mobility scooter rider threatened and pushed by a cyclist.
The victim began filming the incident and the cyclist tried to take the phone and pushed him in the process, at which point a member of the public intervened and the suspect fled. Southampton Common, the 365-acre greenspace with woodland and various footpaths and byways, made headlines on road.cc back in July when a community-spirited resident took to maintaining a cycle path, fearing the loose gravel surface was an"accident waiting to happen".Mike Marx, a 59-year-old handyman, said he had lived near The Avenue for 14 years and begun sweeping away loose stones and levelling holes in the gravel path that runs alongside the A33 by Southampton Common.
"It's right by the road and on a normal bike the path is too hard. They have tarmacked other bike lanes. They did around the [Southampton University] Highfield Campus, but they have just left this mess," he explained.
