Drunk cyclist loses pig's head

Good Samaritans in Watford who helped move a drunk cyclist off the road, made a grisly discovery the next morning, when they found he had left behind a pig's head in a carrier bag.

The partially shaved head, complete with eyes and teeth, was found in a plain white bag, and had no markings on it.



A Vicarage Road resident, who asked not to be named, said: “At about 10pm on Friday there was a drunk man with a bike lying in the middle of a road. A bus came around the corner and nearly hit him. The driver opened the doors and shouted at the man and he tried to move off the road.

“We moved him onto the grass verge and called the police, who said they'd already been called, but he was still there at 10.55pm. The bag which was attached to his bike fell off, and the next day my neighbour came round and told me there was a head in the bag. I didn't believe her so I told my kids to go have a look and they came back shouting: 'There's a head, there's a head'. I'm surprised the foxes haven't had it yet.”
