An 84-year-old man is in stable condition today at a hospital after being knocked to the ground by a bicyclist on Massachusetts Avenue around 5 p.m. Friday, Boston police said.
Witnesses said the man had stepped off the sidewalk near the Berklee School of Music to cross the street while cars were stuck in gridlocked traffic when the bicyclist hit him, said Officer Joe Zanoli, a police spokesman.
The man fell to the ground and cut his head. The bicyclist, a 22-year-old man from Randolph, stayed at the scene to help, Zanoli said. He told officers he didn't have time to stop before he hit the man.
The older man was taken to Boston Medical Center, where he was listed in stable condition today, Zanoli said. No charges have been filed against the bicyclist.
