Cyclist Assaulted By Motorist Looking For Witnesses

Written by Boston Biker on Sep 15

Got this in the email, if you saw this contact this person at [email protected]

I was involved in a crash on Sunday (September 12th) on Mass Ave Cambridge and we need witness accounts. I was chased by a vehicle and intentionally struck, totaling my bike and popping the driver’s tire. The driver exited the vehicle and kicked me several times while i was on the ground. So far there are no accounts from uninvolved witnesses.

Sounds like a pretty messed up situation, if you know anything or saw anything contact the email above and give them a hand.

Edit: Got this from the cyclist

“this was on sunday at around 2:30. the car began chasing us on the mass ave bridge and finally caught up at smart street.”

    Wow, that’s one seriously disturbed individual. I hope they go to prison for a good while.

    I really hope the police were called immediately and a report was filed. That’s attempted murder in my book and the person responsible needs to be put away for a good amount of time.

    That totally sucks, I’m really sorry.

    You’re way more likely to get a response if you can tell us where on Mass Ave it was and what time of day.

    Also, give the Cambridge Chronicle a call (http://www.wickedlocal.com/cambridge/contact), they’ll probably want to write a story, and you’re more likely to find a witness that way.

    ditto matthew …mass ave/cambridge is a couple of miles long, when and where was it? sounds like this could be a hoax.
