LOS ANGELES (KABC) --
A man in his 40s had his thumb cut off and suffered serious injuries after being attacked by four men, including one who wielded a machete early Sunday morning in the Pico-Union area. The suspects remain at large.

Around 12:35 a.m., a man walking his bicycle when he was confronted by four other Hispanic men who tried to take the bicycle.

The suspects, all of whom are between the ages of 19 and 21, began attacking the victim and one of them used a machete to hack at the victim's hands in an attempt to steal the man's bicycle and some money.

This doesn't seem to be an isolated incident.

Police: Machete-wielding cyclist attacked Woodinville driver

A Woodinville bicyclist accused of attacking a passing driver with a machete now faces a felony assault charge.

King County prosecutors contend Colin Briganti slashed at the driver with a machete he’d slung off his bicycle after the driver passed him on a residential street near Cottage Lake. Briganti, 22, was later removed from his mother’s home by King County deputies after refusing to come out on his own following the Sept. 10 incident.

Shortly after 5 p.m., the man was driving home when he pulled behind Briganti, who was riding in the middle of the residential street.

Speaking with King County investigators, the man said he came alongside Briganti and suggested he ride on the right side of the road. According to the man’s account, he was concerned Briganti might be struck by a passing car; the sun’s position made it difficult to see Briganti.

We have surveyors in the area an they always have machetes, should I be scared? Enough of this, I am going for a ride.
