Man stages bicycle accident in Seattle

A man took his bicycle onto the University Bridge in Seattle about 3 a.m. Saturday, then laid down beside it, as if he were injured. When a motorist stopped to help him, the man jumped up and punched and kicked the woman.

Police answering the call witnessed the attack and arrested the man. The woman was treated at a local hospital for the assault.

This is terrible on several levels. In addition to the woman being injured in the assault, I wonder if passersby will think twice before coming to the aid of bicyclists who have been left to die by hit-and-run motorists.

Maybe this guy got the idea of faking a bike accident from the McCain campaign volunteer who made up a story about being robbed and attacked by an Obama supporter earlier this week.
