    HEADLINE - Cyclist undergoes ‘extensive surgery’ after being punched for colliding into child on zebra crossing

    MAIN TEXT - Police in Hackney are making a public appeal to any drivers
    with dash-cam footage relating to an assault on a cyclist at a zebra
    crossing.

    At around 11am on Saturday 13 May the male cyclist was involved in a
    collision with a female child on a zebra crossing in Lauriston Road, E9.

    The child is not believed to have suffered any injuries as a result of
    the incident.

    Immediately after the incident, the cyclist was approached by a man who
    punched him in the face before leaving the scene. The suspect is not
    believed to have been known to the child.

    The cyclist was taken to hospital by a friend where he was diagnosed
    with a broken jaw and required to undergo extensive surgery.

    Officers from Hackney CID are investigating and are appealing to any
    drivers who may have been in the area at the time and could have
    dash-cam footage to come forward.

    Decked with one punch, as we say in the trade?

    On a zebra crossing, eh?

    Go on, Mason... try to shift the blame onto the child victim or her
    avenger...

    Highway Code!

    19. Zebra crossings. Give traffic plenty of time to see you and to stop
    before you start to cross. Vehicles will need more time when the
    road is slippery. Wait until traffic has stopped from both directions
    or the road is clear before crossing. Remember that traffic does not
    have to stop until someone has moved onto the crossing. Keep
    looking both ways, and listening, in case a driver or rider has not
    seen you and attempts to overtake a vehicle that has stopped.

    We aren't talking about traffic. We are talking about cyclopaths. The
    majority of them don't even know that they have to accord precedence to pedestrians on zebra crossings.
