This was in the late 90's I used to ride my bicycle to work on Swing and Graveyard. I left for work on a Sunday around 10:30 or so. A car with 4 punks of pulled along side of me and one of them leaned out of the car and smashed a large glass bottle over my head. (I was wearing a bike helmet)
I wound up being confronted by the hoods and fired a shot into the ground. ( my thoughts were that I couldn't get all 4 maybe the sound of a gunshot would discourage them)
They were back in the car and gone at 1000 MPH.
Called the police and the cop gave me a ride home and took a report. I went to the ER to get checked out and wound up losing a Sunday Graveyard day's pay.
The incident ruined the enjoyment of riding my bike to work. Kinda like being in Viet Nam again.
