A cyclist in Oxford has been seriously injured having been hit by a tangerine thrown from a passing car. The incident took place just past Cherwell Bridge on Monday.
The fruit was travelling at high speed and left the cyclist with serious bruising to his left eye alongside swelling and bleeding from the iris. PC Chris Reilly said, “This may have been unintentional, but I am concerned it was not. The rider was wearing a reflective jacket and lights and would have been easy to see.”
Anyone with information is urged to contact PC Reilly on 08458 505505 or Crimestoppers line on 0800 555111.
