Cyclist a victim of random stabbing

A cyclist was stabbed in the chest by a teenager on the 13th

while riding his bike home, Kyra’s husband Brian was attacked with a knife by a teenager. He was riding near 7th and L Streets SE when he ran into the teens. One of them stepped out onto the street and stabbed him on the chest. Although Brian is fine –he only required a staple and antibiotics– his story is a painful reminder that there are those out there who can and do hurt others.

Update: Here's another description

A NAVSEA 05 employee was assaulted on his way home from work yesterday (~1730 13 Jan 15).  He was riding his bike north on 7th street between K & L in SE DC (in vicinity of Marine Barracks).  He noticed a group of kids, and one came out between the cars and stabbed him in the chest.

Isn't this just cyclist paranoia, part of the war on knives?

If the youth had been smart enough to try to hit the cyclist with his car, he might have only gotten a traffic ticket.

...and a thumbs-up from Courtland.

The cyclist should not have ridden in the path of the guy's knife.

Whoa, blaming the kid with the knife. He was just defending himself because the guy was on a bike. And something about lycra and Lance Armstrong. And because the kid once saw a cyclist run a stop sign, it was completely necessary that he stab the cyclist and put an end to his entitled disrespect of knife-wielding Washingtonians.

SJEm you left out the arrogance of the cyclist...

[Michael Roy]

The article fails to mention whether he was wearing a helmet.

[SJE]

Of course. We all know cyclists are arrogant. Just ask Courtland Milloy.

[Question]

Has anyone ever seen that kid and Courtland Milloy at the same time? Just sayin'...
