Appeal after cyclists knocked off bikes on busy road

Officers have appealed for witnesses after two cyclists were knocked from their bikes near a village in Nottinghamshire.

Nottinghamshire Police said a motorcyclist on the A1 Blyth Road, near Blyth, allegedly reached out and pushed one of the cyclists into the other rider, causing both to collide and fall into a grass verge beside the road.

The force said one cyclist suffered cuts to his arms, while the other was left with pain to his collarbone after the incident at about 17:20 BST on Friday.

Officers have asked anyone with dashcam footage to get in touch.

PC Finn Clarke said: "Assaults on cyclists are completely unacceptable.

"Everyone has the right to travel safely on our roads and we are determined to identify the motorcyclist involved in this incident.

"We treat all reports of assaults on cyclists seriously and are keen to speak to anyone who witnessed what happened."
