Cambridge pensioner fed up with cyclists poured dog mess over man's head
" A pensioner tipped a bag of dog excrement over a Cambridge University lecturer as he cycled past her.
Retired civil servant Susan Currall, 75, was fed up with cyclists "hurtling" towards her as she walked her four-year-old lurcher called Rosie near her home, Cambridge Magistrates' Court heard.
...
Monica Lentin, mitigating, said: "... What makes it worse is you get lots of young men with powerful bikes* riding at speed without any conscience that older people can't get out of the way easily."
...
The court heard how Currall had no previous convictions, but had received two cautions for common assault and criminal damage in 2007 following a dispute with a neighbour.
Currall said after the hearing: "... A lot of people will be applauding me for what I did because cyclists can be such a pain in the neck. "
Regardless of whether Mr Ramage rode inconsiderately (and there's nothing stating evidence that he did), what a vile form of abuse.
* What are "powerful bikes"? Has someone been souping up their e-bike?
