Police are investigating after a man was hit in the head by an onion thrown from an electric bike in Edinburgh. The attack happened outside a Greggs branch on Gorgie Road on Wednesday evening.
A DRIVE-BY attack is being investigated by police – after a thug on an electric bike hurled an ONION .
A shopper was hit by the vegetable outside a branch of Greggs in Edinburgh. It’s not known if the victim was brought to tears by the onion but a witness said it hit him “like a rock”. They said: “I was just walking down Gorgie Road when two teens on electric bikes zoomed past and one threw an onion at some guys standing opposite us.“Sounds silly, but the onion disintegrated on impact and hit the guy right in the back of the head. Made a loud sound , the guy dropped to his knees looking dazed, so it looked more serious as it reads.“We do get pr***s on bikes here, but it’s the first time I’ve seen something as blatant as this. So bizarre.
“Neds will never see the consequences of this, and it’s scary to see them going this far and attack people. So, if anyone’s around the area, look out.”Join the Daily Record WhatsApp community!
