    1. Just saw the aftermath of this AGAIN in the exact same spot. Victim this time was a 68 year old fisherman - gang of teens distracted him then pushed him in. Me and another bloke had to drag him out, he couldn't physically climb out of the canal. @mattpointblank/1410629643326177282

    Stuck around to help him call the police and he insisted he didn't need help getting home even though his glasses were at the bottom of the canal. Felt absolutely awful for him.

      I don't cycle on the roads in Brum because the route to nursery/work is horrendous (hardly any cycling infrastructure, dangerous drivers etc). I'm not going to be forced off the canal as well.
