Scots gran left 'black and blue' after being struck by cyclist outside home

A Scots pensioner was left lying on the pavement 'black and blue' after being knocked down by a cyclist who quickly scarpered from the scene.

Linda Lewenhak, 73, left her home on Edgehead Road, in Dalkeith, at around 7.30pm on Sunday, July 2, when the man came from behind and struck her with his bike sending her tumbling onto the pavement. The pensioner suffered a badly bruised face and a deep cut to her elbow which required stitches, reports Edinburgh Live.

According to Linda and her granddaughter Nicola, the man only stopped to check whether his bike was damaged, before he cycled off.
