Edgewood/Brookland 7:45am: “driver punched a biker”

Update from a reader: “He is my neighbor and spent last night in the ICU and will be there for at least a few days. Won’t be able to eat solids for a few weeks.”

A reader reports: “Trash truck driver punched a biker on 7th and Kearney St, NE. 7:45 am. Biker is banged up but okay.

Thankfully bike lanes are being installed on this road (hopefully) this month which should cut down on unsafe interactions and frustration from sharing the road. No arrest. The truck fled the scene but police have the license plate number. People should stay safe from aggressive drivers.”
