Police in Lanarkshire are appealing for information after a cyclist was assaulted in Hamilton.

Around 7.30pm on Thursday, June 1, a man was cycling with a young boy at the junction of Kelvin Gardens and Hillhouse Road when a man got out a car and assaulted him.

The 47-year-old cyclist sought medical treatment and reported the incident to police on June 5. The 14-year-old boy was not injured.

The suspect is white, in his early 20s to 30s, with blond spikey hair. He was wearing Stone Island clothing.

Officers have been reviewing CCTV footage from in and around the area as part of their ongoing enquiries.

Detective Constable Stephen Belcher said: “The motive for this attack is unknown and it’s vital we find the person responsible for this attack. “From our enquiries, so far, we know the area was busy with people and motorists and I am appealing to anyone who was in the area who may have seen something to contact us.

“Ideally, if anyone has dash cam footage from the area, please pass it on as it could assist our investigation.”

....just a random attack for absolutely no reason at all, you reckon?

From your own post:

“The 14-year-old boy was not injured.”

Still a bit wary of accepting footage from cyclists after Mr Arsehole called them "sneaky"?
Ignore him - he's a twat.

....which is merely another way of saying that he shows that they are not
and were never guilty. Which in turn means that they were being
persecuted. After all, what sane authority prosecuted someone who isn't
guilty?

You'd probably only find it today in China, North Korea and Venezuela.
Maybe Russia too.

Er, isn't "blonde" a female descriptor?

That's a linguistic distinction that's wasted on the PP.

As you so recently confused a ‘she’ for a ‘he’, why are you so concerned
about this?

Hamilton seems to be a hotspot of crime at the moment.

QUOTE: Police are appealing for witnesses after a 12 year-old boy was robbed in broad daylight.

The incident happened at around 1.15pm on June 19 in the Hamilton town centre area.

The young school-boy was walking with friends when a man approached him and demanded he hand over money.

The unknown man was said to have ran off in the direction of the Regent's Centre.

The suspect is described as in his late 40s, around 5ft 9inches tall, with grey hair and stubble. He was wearing a grey sweater and blue jeans and had a slight tremble in his right arm.

Detective Constable Gerry Hattie, of Lanarkshire CID, said: "Thankfully the boy was not injured but this was a frightening experience for him. I'm appealing to anyone who witnessed the incident or saw a man matching this description to come forward." ENDS

What happened to the chav-bike?

QUOTE: A manhunt has been launched after cops seized a massive cannabis farm worth nearly £270k in Hamilton.

Officers swooped on two properties on Quarry Street on Monday, April 26, after receiving intelligence about potential drugs within.

They discovered the sizeable haul, which they say has a potential street value of around £269,400.

Enquiries remain ongoing to trace the people responsible for it. ENDS

Was he wearing "Stone Island" clobber as well?
