Polly Friedhoff was knocked down while walking on a footpath near Iffley Lock on 20 November 2022.

A cyclist has been found not guilty of causing bodily harm to an 81-year-old woman by “wanton or furious” cycling.

Ms Friedhoff’s friend Ewa Huggins, who had joined her on their routine stroll, said the incident happened suddenly and her friend was “catapulted with incredible force”. Mr Dobe added: “I’m going to suggest that he did ring his bell and you moved a bit further to the right-hand side, you said something to Polly and she moved suddenly but moved to the left suddenly and that was when his bike made contact with her and that is when she fell.”
