A man on a Segway had what police described as “an altercation” with a driver on a busy Brighton road.
And now they have an issued an appeal for help to identify him with a view to interviewing him.
Sussex Police said: “Can you help us identify this man following an altercation on Saturday 25 January in Brighton?
“A report was made to police following the incident which occurred at around 1.20pm in Elm Grove, near the junction of Queen’s Park Road.
“A man, who was said to be riding a Segway, was involved in an altercation with the driver of a vehicle.
“Officers are undertaking inquiries to establish the circumstances of the incident and we are looking to speak the man in the image.
“If you have information to report, we ask you contact us online, or by calling 101 quoting reference 581 of 25/1.”
Never enough punishment for these road abusers, make their fines equal to what would be the cost of Insurance, MOT and Road Tax, then they might realise what car owners pay just to be on the road legally.
Those things exists because of the car not because of the existence of the road. The local council maintains these roads.
???? My comment was about road crime and punishment for that, try reading it instead of having a brain cell drain
Looks like a Welsh choirboy Segway user if that helps😳
Do they mean a Segway or do they mean a Segway made e-bike ?
It’s a one wheeled Segway. You see a few mono wheeled e-bikes around where the rider stands up. They play among the pedestrians on the prom at Hove Lawns. This bloke has put a seat on and is often on the sea-front as well
Anyone who lives in the Park Crescent area knows this man well. And his name. He’s on a mono cycle or mono wheel that does 40mph and he’s been a menace on that thing for years. He’s also very volatile and often gets into altercations, so very much know by the local police. I’m surprised they need any help on this one.
‘Monkey Skills’ – the chosen moniker does reveal the subversive racist agenda underpinning your outright hostility which will inevitably consume your mind..
The man in the picture is riding a mono wheel, and mono is Spanish for monkey. Monkey skills = mono skills. Some people look for offence. In any event, your handle, Cat Man Do, appears to be a joke at the expense of people from the Nepalese capital.
‘The man in the picture is riding a mono wheel, and mono is Spanish for monkey…’ Are you not even THAT self aware of the logical fallacies you spout in trying to cover up an obvious and targeted comment? Your online character – in its completely deluded and self entitled mindset – does naively presume it could speak for a ‘ghostly’ majority with its faux arbitrary tone of writing, coming out of nowhere – like an escaped inmate from a mental institution with an invisible rope hanging tightly round its neck. You have evolved from your institutionally contrived persona into a gatekeeper mindset – it would seem – and would rather try and employ the well worn method of gaslighting and weaponising the narrative via feeble, irrelevant and utterly cringing attempts at satire – to distract – rather than make concrete change in ACTUALLY outing such OVERTLY racist insinuations. The sort of mind set that would scream in horror at its own shadow and then blame it on another. You are definitely part of the problem and its so easy know and sense that you aren’t even aware it with how you think and the way you write. You’ve merely been cultivated to be a jeering and sneering, subversive ‘apologist’ xenophobe with no capacity to think outside its ( empty ) box except project the negative to ‘maintain the status quo’, as it were. Please spare me the tat..
‘Monkey Skills’ comment – which is overtly and subversively racist in itself as a nickname, should have been removed/not allowed through moderation. The person in question is of a Black heritage and he rides an electric unicycle which requires ‘skill’ and comparing, in the moniker, this person in this way could be seen as a racist crime by the moniker chosen to use for himself in relation to comments, which is a bit of an oxymoron, as skilled monkeys are in fact not a menace! . Of course he will deny it but it’s pretty obvious, this is being used to try to insult in a racist manner as a heading and subversively do it’s a bit of a double speak, as racism often is. It’s also inciting slander and possibly a witch hunt by stating the street on which he may live. This person’s negative ‘views’ have no basis in reality and cannot be substantiated, as it’s just one person’s vindictive ‘opinion’. It seems like willful slander and an attempt to negatively portray this person as a public nuisance, when there is actually no call for it, all that was put out was a request by the police. The person in question has already voluntarily visited the station in person last week and the police are currently investigating the matter, as they ought to. Surely if this person is so concerned they should contact the police themselves with all the information they feel they have. Instead this person has chosen to try to reveal where this person resides in some sort of incitement under a racist moniker. It’s quite a wonder how this kind of comment could get through and be put on line, as it is based in hate and ignorance. If this person is known to the person who made this comment, then they are also the worst kind of coward who operates behind hate and anonymity. Please could moderators remove this comment as it has no place or standing in civilised society.
Jojomo, you’re as anonymous as Monkey Skills. So, you’re being hypocritical. The comment by Monkey Skills may be racist if you have that racism-seeking mindset, but to me, it reads as a straightforward set of opinions: the man in the photo is volatile, well-known locally and probably on the radar of the police. Given the subject matter, Monkey Skills is a linguistically clever handle or moniker, not a racist one. None of which is to deny some people are racist, but making cheap claims like yours devalues the term and the problem.
Ok Ana, thanks for your input
The identity of some of the commenters would be interesting to know. I guess it will remain a mystery, alas.
I’m not entirely sure whether “Monkey Skills” has racist intentions but I’m pretty sure the commenter comparing the Segway rider to the Southport killer does.
