Police in Liverpool have launched an appeal for information after a cyclist was left in a critical condition when he was attacked by a group of men, one of whom is believed to have been wielding a hammer.
The assault happened on Victoria Road West, Crosby, at around 10.45pm on the evening of Saturday 2 November, reports the Liverpool Echo.
According to police the victim, a 22-year-old male was riding his bike when a group of men – one described as being of stocky build, aged in his 40s or 50s and with grey hair, the others as teenagers – got out of a small grey car.
They then subjected him to what was described as a vicious assault, with members of the public coming to the victim’s aid afterwards.
The cyclist remains in a critical condition in hospital.
Detective Chief Inspector Siobhan Gainer of Merseyside Police said: "This was a serious and violent assault which has left a man with significant injuries and I am determined to find the people responsible.
"Enquiries are currently being carried out into the circumstances of what took place in the lead up to this incident but I would ask anyone who saw the cyclist or the grey car, which was possibly a Volkswagen Golf, in the Crosby area, last night to contact us.
"A number of people in the area came to the cyclist's assistance following the assault but I would also like to speak to anyone who was driving past who may have seen or captured something significant on their dash-cam footage."
Anyone who has information is asked to send police a direct message to their Twitter account @MerPolCC, call officers on 101 or contact the charity Crimestoppers anonymously on 0800 555 111 quoting reference 19100640212.

Why the PSNI officer was not charged for assault?
Just ignore whatever ban or signs and cycle through it. Nothing much they can or will do about it anyway.
For a rear brake hose plumbed into the left shifter and with a hose entry point on top of the down tube, I would do it like that too. You have to...

That's 36 bikes on 18 Sheffield stands. And whilst the the cheaper shed looks impressive, there doesn't appear to be an easy way to lock up the frame.
