POLICE are investigating after a cyclist was knocked off his bike in Northumberland at about 10.45pm on Friday, October 18.

The 22-year-old man was cycling on the Military Road from Heddon-on-the-Wall towards Albermarle Barracks as two vehicles have been travelling in the opposite direction.

As the cyclist has approached the cars a third vehicle has attempted to overtake him.

At the same time a car travelling in the opposite direction has attempted to overtake the vehicle in front of them.

The cyclist has then had to take action to avoid being hit by a vehicle and ended up falling into the roadside.

He was not struck by any vehicle and was not seriously injured but the incident left him very shaken.

None of the vehicles involved stopped at the scene and officers are now appealing for them to get in touch.

Anyone who saw what happened, or if you were one of the vehicles involved, should contact police on 101 quoting log 1399 18/10/19.
