Boris Johnson donned his cape again last night and came to the aid of an injured cyclist who had been knocked off his bike.
The mayor seems to be making a speciality of rushing to the rescue. In 2009 he saw off some ‘feral (we’re getting tired of that word already) oiks’ who had cornered a pedestrian then earlier this year he assisted a shopper who fell off her bike during a Westfield photo shoot.
But he’s also come a cropper by falling into a river, nearly getting run over by a lorry and narrowly avoiding a falling glass tile at the Westfield Stratford opening this morning, prompting us to wonder if it’s actually Boris himself who needs rescuing.
