North Rhine-Westphalia: Men threaten and beat cyclists

Iserlohn (dpa / lnw) - In Iserlohn in the Märkisch district, a 35-year-old cyclist was attacked by members of a wedding party. Unknown men first threatened him and then hit him in the face, the police said on Wednesday morning.

Shortly before an intersection, the cyclist stretched out his arm on Tuesday afternoon because a wedding parade drove very close to him. He came against the side mirror of a car, which then collapsed. The driver of the car then shouted at him that he would kill him if that day wasn't his wedding day. An unknown man then got out of another car and hit the cyclist in the face with his fist, causing him to fall to the ground. The unknown man then struck again when the cyclist wanted to photograph the license plates. The alleged perpetrators then drove on with the wedding parade in the direction of Kalthof. The police are now looking for the men.
