Cyclist Beaten in "Knockout Game" Attack Nationwide trend has led to several injuries and one death so far By Vince Lattanzio and David Chang
A cyclist is recovering after being beaten in what detectives believe is a "knockout game" attack along a Philadelphia street.
The male victim was riding his bike along the 900 block of Catherine Street in the Bella Vista section of the city just before 8 p.m. on Friday when he was randomly punched by a group of teens, police said.
After being hit, police say the cyclist asked the group -- made up of five teen boys and three teen girls -- why they hit him. Without answering, the group then continued beating the man.
The victim met up with police at Broad and Carpenter Streets following the attack.
Philadelphia detectives tell NBC10 they believe the teens were playing the "knockout game" when they beat the man.

“Teens”.
Gotta watch out for those “teens” and “youths.”
Don’t worry, it’s all just an Urban Myth.
I feel bad for this cyclist. After getting struck the first time, he then asked his attackers why they hit him. At which point, they beat him some more.
Sometimes, you just have to accept that some people are just evil or if not, wholly evil, are possessed of that mindset. There is no reasoning with such people. The best response to this is to be aware of your surroundings at all times and be ready for fight or flight depending on the circumstances.
It’s NOT a “game”.
They are NOT just teens. They are Teenaged Black Racists.
If they were white they’d be reported as “White Supremecists”, or “Racists” with no mention of their status as “teens”.
Be very careful when you go shopping my FReepin’ FRiends as this type of assault on anyone not black is happening all over this country. What we read about is just the tip of the iceberg. It’s happening all over the country everyday.
Funny all these articles comment sections are closed. Cowardly MSN!
I’m so sick of this I could spit tacks. Just from going to sites like Free Republic and Facebook, (not even specifically looking for stories like this,) I’m seeing one to five stories per day of black-on-white atrocities. Yet we keep hearing how evil and racist whites are for eating peanut butter and jelly sandwiches or for saying the “N” word decades ago after somebody held a gun to their head. The anti-white remarks, such as Oprah’s, are getting more frequent and blatant, as well. I know some whites are starting to wake up and get mad, and I hope we get danged good and mad and start fighting back. How long before they’re loading us onto boxcars? This is how it begins.
Would like to see more stories of the “teens” being sprayed with hot lead, then maybe this crap would stop.
There was a rash of attacks like this on cyclists in Portland, Oregon, last year, but it wasn’t called a game.
Hey, let’s just call it racial terrorism, because that’s what it is, and that’s how we should treat it.
It certainly isn’t a game, and it has been going on for years here in Philly.
“If they were white they’d be reported as “White Supremecists”, or “Racists” “
Naah, they would call them “far right wing TEA party extremists”
Then maybe correct it 2 weeks later with a one sentence apology at either 3am or on pg 2 of the automotive section of the newspaper.
I went to the mall this am and had my little friend with me, but that is not unusual, because, like my Amex card, "I never leave home without it".
I saw 4 yutes, and one had his pants draped around his thighs, I have no idea how he walked without severe pain from contorting his body to keep his pants from falling to the ground.
I looked directly at them and quickly their gazes drifted away.
I think they want you to avert your eyes, it's like winning the old staring contest.
These attacks have been going on in Phila for a number of years. I remember the first report of a similar attack was on a senior citizen, waiting in line at a fast food or pizza place in Germantown. Heck, my nephew, got head butted at a gas station in Audobon, a few years ago. For no apparent reason. He just came out from picking up his change and a guy got out of his car and head butted him.
Holder’s people again.
Time to play the Glockout Game.
Gun control again. Metrosexuals won’t even protect themselves, let alone others.
