Fourteen cyclists have reported being targeted in the last week by what they believe is a group of drivers that are intentionally trying to injure them by opening their doors. Fox 11 reports that these attacks took place between Thursday and Sunday in Oakland, Emeryville, and Berkeley. So far, eight people have been hit, and two have been sent to the hospital.
The attackers aren’t sitting parked and opening their doors in what could possibly be construed as an accident. Instead, as seen in the video below, they drive alongside the cyclists and intentionally try to hit them with the passenger door. They’ve also reportedly swerved to hit the cyclists twice without opening the door. The good news is, at least in this one instance, it was caught on video, and the car’s license plate is clearly visible, which should make it easier to catch these assholes. Unless, of course, it’s stolen.
