Investigators are considering the incident a potential assault and felony property crime
 

Had to chuckle on that one.  Smack him in the face and then refer to it as potential.

Must have been a roadie on a Mtb. A real mountain biker would never be beaten up by a runner.

Must have been a hot day, with no 'real' mtbers on the trails

I don't think that runners and mtb should share trails. The only trail I ride where this happens is Majik forest and I can see that although I slow right down and even stop sometimes as soon as I know there's a walker or runner ahead of me, they routinely get a big fright and move to the side of the path as if I were going to run into them.

 

If I put myself in their shoes - here comes 95kg of zebra striped mamil on an XL Merida crashing along at Strava smashing speeds .... terrifying!

Andrew was punched repeatedly by the runner in the jaw and side of head. Andrew hit the deck and the runner then “stomped” on his back.
