Evolutionary biologist Richard Dawkins said his car's back windscreen
was smashed in an "unprovoked attack" by a cyclist who pursued him down
a busy city road.

The writer said on Twitter his blue Tesla was attacked on Cowley Road in
Oxford at about 13:50 GMT on Monday.

He said he had no camera record of the attack but was trying to retrieve
one.

Thames Valley Police (TVP) said it had received a report of a car being
damaged in Cowley Road on Monday.

Prof Dawkins said he had been left "bewildered" by the cyclist seemingly
seeking out his Tesla electric car.

He tweeted on Tuesday: "In current climate-change crisis, I'm bewildered
by hostility to Tesla: EV pioneer."

Wonder what Cyclox had to say about cyclists and safety regarding this
unpleasant incident?
