Cyclist mugged by machete-wielding masked men in yet another violent bikejacking The terrifying attack, which left the cyclist with cuts and bruises, comes less than a month after a similar bikejacking attempt on a path in Bristol cycling
Three masked men armed with machetes attacked a cyclist, stealing his bike and phone, and threatened a passer-by earlier this week in the second violent bikejacking incident to occur in Bristol in less than a month.
After offering up the bike, the cyclist was then approached and surrounded by two other men armed with knives, as the first attacker again threatened him, this time for his phone. The mugger punched and struck the cyclist in the face with the handle of one of the knives, before taking his phone. The victim told police that he believes that all three suspects are in their late teens and that they were wearing dark-coloured tracksuits and balaclavas. The first man was described as just under six foot tall, slim, and of mixed ethnicity, while the other two thieves are thought to be around five foot eight, slim, and white.
A spokesperson for Avon and Somerset Police said: “Detectives are keen to hear from anyone who was on the path at around that time, especially two other dog walkers, both men, who left before officers arrived.
