A 24-year-old bicyclist was hit and kicked after he confronted a group of men who he said threw an object at him while he rode his bike up Mount Lemmon last week.
The victim suffered minor injuries, and did not need medical attention after the Oct. 1 assault, said Deputy Tom Peine, a Pima County Sheriff’s Department spokesman.
Deputies responded to East Snyder Road and Catalina Highway after the victim reported that he was assaulted by three men. He told deputies that he was riding up Mount Lemmon when a silver car with a sunroof passed him at about milepost 1, said Peine.
While the vehicle passed the bicyclist, an object— possibly a soda can — was thrown out through the sunroof and hit the bicyclist in the head, Peine said. The bicyclist then followed the vehicle down the mountain and caught up to it at Snyder and Catalina Highway.
The vehicle pulled over, three men climbed out and a confrontation followed with the trio punching and kicking the bicyclist, Peine said. He said a passerby captured the attack on video.
A woman got out of the vehicle and yelled at them to get back into the car. The victim grabbed the woman’s shirt, and it came off, Peine said. He said one of the men also lost his shoe while kicking the victim. A set of headphones belonging to one of the assailants also was left at the scene, Peine said.
The woman and men returned to their vehicle and it sped off towards North Houghton Road, said Peine.
Detectives with the robbery/assault unit are investigating the incident, and ask that anyone who can identify the assailants or have information about the assault call 911 or 88-CRIME.
