Fahad Shafiq was travelling home when he was accosted by a group of thugs on motorbikes.

A Scots has called for CCTV to be installed on cycle routes after he was left bleeding and bruised following an attack.

He said: "I usually drive into work but a couple of times a week I've started cycling. I've never had any problems until that day. "I'm not sure if they were angry about something or just thought it was fun. But I was really traumatised by it. I don't think I'll be able to cycle to work or go out on the bike anytime soon."

He added: "When I was speaking to the police, a guy on the same motorbike drove past. They were always there, but the officers said because there was no CCTV they can't do anything because there is a slim chance of catching anyone.
