An individual operating an e-scooter assaulted and tried to rob a cyclist on a river towpath located in Oxford. The female victim was cycling along the River Thames towpath, traveling from Kennington Road towards Folly Bridge, around 14:30 GMT on 8 November. During this time, a man, also with an e-scooter, obstructed her path and indicated for her to halt. This assailant, whom police characterized as an Asian man in his 30s or 40s with a slender physique, subsequently seized the cyclist in an effort to steal her possessions. The female cyclist responded by kicking the man, after which she successfully fled the scene, according to information from Thames Valley Police. The police force further stated that no items were stolen during the event, and the victim sustained no injuries. The individual who carried out the attack was estimated to be between 6ft (1.8m) and 6ft 2in (1.88m) in height. He was dressed in a black coat and black jeans, and was riding a black e-scooter when the incident occurred.
