Cyclist bites below the belt

A cyclist angered by an overtaking city bus climbed aboard at the next stop and bit the driver's genitals, Polish prosecutors alleged yesterday.

The Podgorze district prosecutor in Krakow, south Poland, accused the man of causing bodily harm. The prosecutor said the bus had tried to overtake the cyclist on 9 September and got by after tooting twice.

At the next stop the enraged cyclist got onto the bus and began a row with the driver. Then he beat him, broke his nose, and bit him in the stomach and genitals, the court heard.
