“The cyclist removed the wire to prevent anyone from being injured and reported the incident to the Police the next day,” the release reads in part.
“We are extremely fortunate that no one was injured by the wire,” said Const. Mansoor Sahak. “We’re asking anyone who has witnessed suspicious activity or has information related to this incident to come forward.”
