A 49-year-old bicyclist is in jail after attacking a woman and several officers with a ski pole while shouting “shoot me,” Margate police said.
The woman reported being hit in the neck by a man with a “cane” who had been following her about 10:45 a.m. Sunday in the 6400 block of Winfield Boulevard. She said he rode away on a bicycle, according to a police report.
Officers spotted Dalton Lindo riding southbound on N. State Road 7 approaching the intersection of Southgate Boulevard a short time later, the report stated.
When officers approached Lindo he threatened them with what was later identified as a ski pole and he repeatedly yelled “shoot me” at them, police said.
