It was on that little section of shared path over the underpass/roundabout the other side of the railway from Karrakatta cemetery. Didn't see his bike, but appearance and behaviour seem identical to the fellow mentioned here. Two guys had stopped in the Freo direction and I was heading towards the city. He was coming in the opposite direction, in my lane already despite the fact I would have passed the stopped cyclists first if I hadn't slowed down. He started yelling abuse, something about me being in the way I think (punctuated by several naughty words) and tried to give me a kick as he passed me.
This thread has two years of activity and the cops haven't done anything? Typical.
Not too sure what the police can do. AFAIK no-one is yet to identify the guy although I did post a few months back post about a cyclist chasing him rather publicly thru the CBD in what I guess may have been an attempt to do just that.
After ID comes clearly demonstrating his behavior and, as he makes rare appearances that is tough too. I have had two fleeting sightings of him and the one of him being chased thru the CBD and, as many will attest, I am out and about more than most and cross the narrows, said to be one of his regular runs, almost daily.
There doesn't even seem to be much in the way of pics or video, neither of which is normally given much weight in prosecutions anyway when submitted by the general public.
Have you notified the police of this issue or even this thread? No. I see you are very new to the forum but even now are you going to? Would they be able to do much even if you did? Methinks the police in this case have little to be embarrassed about.
btw loz, welcome to the forum.
