Baseball bats are used to attack Esplanade Avenue bicyclists, New Orleans police say

New Orleans police are looking for attackers who twice used baseball bats to bash bicyclists on Esplanade Avenue, officers said Monday. In both cases, two people hit the cyclists in the head.

The first incident was reported Friday at 2:20 a.m. near the intersection of Esplanade and North Robertson Street. A man was riding his bicycle on Esplanade when a male believed to be 16 to 18 years old jumped in front of him.

The bicyclist slowed, then another male of about the same age came into the street with an aluminum bat. The attacker hit the cyclist in the mouth.

The two assailants fled. The cyclist was taken to a hospital with a fractured jaw and injuries to his teeth.

When police responded to that attack, they said they learned of a similar incident in the 1200 block of Esplanade. A man was riding his bicycle two males approached, and one hit him in the head with a black bat, fracturing his skull.

I heard John Osterlind say there were five of these attacks.

What a waste of life and resources these thugs are. I hope one day they try that crap with someone who is, how do I put this, a strong supporter of the 2nd amendment.
