Video of a car passenger intentionally assaulting me on San Pablo Ave in West #Oakland around 5:20 this afternoon (June 7). The passenger struck me on the side of my head and helmet, knocking off my glasses. Thankfully, I did not fall over. I am physically fine.
The car was waiting behind/alongside me at a red light on West St, and attacked me as we turned the corner into San Pablo after the light turned green. I was in the bike lane the entire time, and had no prior interaction with the car. The car is a black Nissan Altima with CA license plate 7HFV146.

Be careful out there, folks! I love riding bikes, and this won't stop me. It will only make me more determined to make our cities safer for bikes and pedestrians, whether the danger comes from oblivious drivers on their cell phones, or kids riding around intentionally attacking people. 🚲❤️#BikeOAK #SFBA #BikeTooter npub17hl7jky4p7pfh24ytwzgk48gv8u8j8hu6vh565a0pf58jjt6etuqxfesaq (npub17hl…esaq) npub1wlxl4z969epuv8jhr6tntqpdak7duhkdgu5xjmgn7aeqpf9q8tzq0qvd3d (npub1wlx…vd3d)
