ICYMI: Grown Man Threatens Teens, Slashes Bike Tire In This Arlington Police Log

Arlington Crime Log, Saturday, June 6:

• Car Accident, 10:03 a.m., Victoria Road/Johnson Road

A Toyota Rav4 traveling on Johnson was struck by a Honda Accord upon turning onto Victoria. There appears to be some disagreement on the part of the drivers regarding which of them was driving too fast, but police note that the intersection lacks a stop sign, no injuries were reported, and damage to the vehicles was relatively minor.

• Man Slashes Teenager’s Bike Tire, Bike Path, 5:27 p.m.

Police responded to a report of teenagers trying to fight people, but initial reports turned out to be misleading.

When police encountered the three teenagers involved, they explained they had been traveling on the bike path when a fourth, older individual, came up from behind and asked them to get out of his way. They told him there was plenty of room for him to pass them.

In the process of attempting to go around the youths, the adult biker apparently crashed his bike, and blamed the trio of teens.

He proceeded to advance upon them, slash the front tire of one of their bikes, and yell “Now you can f!@#ing walk!”

A woman passing evidently called 9-1-1, which is when the adult involved thought it best to leave the area. The teens considered chasing him, but opted to wait for police to arrive instead.
