A police spokesperson said: “Officers and London Ambulance Service attended and the woman, aged in her 30s, was taken to hospital for treatment to a head injury; her condition is not thought to be serious.

“The incident happened as the woman was cycling on Stamford Hill. As she passed another male cyclist, he followed her and then struck her with a metal pole.

“There have been no arrests and enquiries continue.”

It's only a minor but last time I looked Stamford Hill was a long way from Trafalgar Square, which is what the picture is of - quite a big place is London!

Sounds awful, I hope they catch the thug.

Minor point: Stamford Hill is quite a long way from central London.

Sounds like someone was attacked by a thug on a bike, bit of a difference.
