Assault and Battery

This happened this past weekend on Sunday, 17 September 2017 near Hamilton, Va -- near Leesburg for those that aren't familiar with Hamilton.  

Now this isn't me, but is someone that I know through cycling.

The person on the bicycle was riding west/north on Harmony Church Rd in Hamilton VA yesterday afternoon. As he approached the intersection, a car approached behind and the driver laid on the horn continuously.

The person on the bicycle figured no big deal, just ignore him and he'll go away.

Nope.

After the person on the bicycle stopped at the stop sign, he heard the driver getting out of the car.

The person on the bicycles got off his bike - he didn't want to try cycling away from him as he'd get up to a decent speed to get away only to have the assailant him run him down in his car? No thanks.

The driver began attacking the person on the bicycle.

The assailant let up attacking to toss the bike into the ditch. At that time the victim took out his cell phone and started filming the above video.

1. There were witnesses to the assault

2. The victim is pressing charges

Video of the Assault -- remember this starts AFTER the assault started; Essentially the assailant stopped long enough to throw the bicycle in the ditch and that's when the victim had breathing space to pull out his cellphone and start recording.
