Police in Gloucestershire are investigating an alleged assault which they
say saw two cyclists follow a driver home after an argument, one of the riders then grabbing the man by the throat.
Gloucestershire Police have released an image of a man who officers want to speak with in connection with the incident which happened in the Cotswolds last month.
There is very little information provided about the events leading up to
the "disagreement". The force has only stated that a man driving in Moreton-in-Marsh just before 11.30am on Tuesday 1 July "spoke to two cyclists" and that "following an argument" the riders followed him home.
One of the cyclists is alleged to have grabbed the driver by the throat
once he got out his car, leaving the man with grazes to his arm and marks
to his throat. A neighbour arrived on the scene and the cyclists left,
police saying the driver was left "shaken up by the incident".
The first cyclist riding a white bike was described as a 6ft white man of
an athletic build. He was wearing a white cycling helmet, blue jersey,
black shorts, glasses, and black and white shoes.
The second man was also described as an athletically built 6ft white man, riding a red, yellow and green bike and wearing black cycling kit.
"Following a disagreement between them, the cyclists followed the man home where one of the men grabbed the victim by the throat after he had gotten
out of his car," a Gloucestershire Police spokesperson said. "The two cyclists left after a neighbour came to the victim's aid.
"Officers have conducted a number of enquiries and are now appealing to the public for help in identifying a man in connection with the attack.
"Anyone who recognises the man in the image or has any information about
the incident is asked to contact Gloucestershire Police through the
website, quoting incident 183 of 1 July: https://www.gloucestershire.police.uk/contact/af/contact-us/us/a-crime-t... (link is external)"

Whilst it is possible both parties were aggressive a'holes, in my
experience I have never encountered an aggressive cyclist. Not once in decades of driving.
