I thought it was the man who flipped out, but no he really did send the cyclist base over apex.
Police have released CCTV footage of a cyclist being flipped over by a man in Barrack Square earlier this month.

The vision captured a 62-year-old woman riding on the footpath on January 6 about 11.15am when she stopped in front of the man walking in the opposite direction.

After a brief conversation, the man pushed the bike before walking past the woman.

The man then turned around and lifted the rear wheel of the bike, flipping the woman onto the ground, causing minor injuries.

Police have shared security footage of the incident in an attempt to identify the man.

Anyone with information has been asked to call Crime Stoppers on 1800 333 000.

And the social media comments say she deserved it!
Remove the bicycle from this scenario & the reaction would be very different;
'Man smashes 62 year old woman's face into ground'

Put her on a bike & its "flips".

What an animal.
What a difference a bike makes.

He's deliberately stepped into her path.

Reminds me of an incident on the Spit Bridge Shared Use path where a guy tried to shove me off my bike and over the railing into peak hour traffic. He was a few sheep short in the top paddock.

That video really upset me. What a coward to do that to another person and especially a lady. I bet he went home and proudly told his wife what a great man he was.
He would be the same bloke to push that cyclist into the gutter with his car. He is a waste of oxygen alright.

The only consolation, perhaps hope, is that he'll die prematurely lugging around that great fat gut, and attitude .
Thugs like him lead miserable, mean unhappy lives.

Which is why I expect she's on the path in the first place.
Amazing how much commentary there is for "she deserved it for being on the path" without considering why she is there in the first place, and how this thug (& many others) would behave towards her if they were behind the wheel of a car. Safely insulated from the reality of hurting someone.

Well, that's my evening ruined.
Anybody able to lend me a bike if I fly over? :evil:

Can't see the comments, assume they have been removed

What a low life, hope he is identified

Did you notice that no one goes to the aid of the cyclist?

Most cyclists take the footpath in Barrack Square because a couple of years ago they changed the road from smooth asphalt to those horrible sharp uneven cobble stones that are unsuitable for bicycles.

Yes, i hope its just the short vision and someone helped out soon after.

They are not nice to walk on either. It would have to be one of the poorest pieces of infastruture as far as cyclist are concerned in Perth. To not incorporate a bike only link through EQ to link the PSP either side is a major f@#$up. Have only ridden through there a couple of times to have a look, but can easily see that bike/ped interaction will cause many issue in years to come. With all the touristS wandering around its a cyclist worst nightmare riding within that precinct.

In no way condoning what the bloke did. It was an assault.

Did anyone else notice it appears the woman was not wearing a helmet at the time of the incident?
Then on a follow up news report asking for help to find the bloke she was filmed riding her bike again not wearing a helmet, it was instead on her handlebars.
Regarding the recent change of rules about cyclists of any age being allowed to ride on footpaths, is under a verandah considered a footpath?

Again, In no way condoning what the bloke did. It was an assault. The above are just some observations and questions.

Agree I wouldn't ride my bike there, but i guess we dont know what the circumstances are prior to the footage i.e. kerb side path blocked etc etc. Plenty of loose cannons around Perth at the moment, so best to quickly move on with incidents unless your able to defend yourself. No comment about helmets except its her choice :wink:

What a c***. What sort of deadhead walks away after throwing anyone, let a 62 year old woman, to the ground and walking off feeling like a hero?

Let's hope someone recognises him so he can get the light tap on the wrist it'll be watered down to because a bike was involved.

The relevance was the next sentence of my OP. Then on a follow up news report asking for help to find the bloke she was filmed riding her bike again not wearing a helmet, it was instead on her handlebars.

What interested me was that the staged recreation had the helmet on the handlebars.

Having another look at the video, the two guys in the foreground probably didn't see it and the 2 people coming the other way were right on the far left, it would appear that they were trying to keep as far as possible away from the thug that they could. The video stops before we get a see their interaction with the cyclist.

as I wrote in one comment on the 7 news perth page on Fakebook - it is possible that she has applied for, and been granted a medical exemption from wearing a helmet. You have all assumed she's just a lawbreaker.


or words to that effect. I personally don't care whether she wears a lid or not - but the bogans don't seem to know that not everybody is required to. that is the point I was trying to make.
