British Football Fan Injured in Hit & Run with Speeding Motorcycle

Mark Fisher, 25, was rushed to hospital after the bike collided with him as he ran across a zebra crossing hours before England's 0-0 draw against Costa Rica.

Against the odds, he survived with only a broken arm, a damaged tooth, and various cuts and bruises.

Police are investigating the hit-and-run using CCTV cameras around the scene, and from a fragment of the bike left at the scene.

According to witnesses, Mr Fisher left his hotel in Belo Horizonte, located only a few meters away, moments before being knocked over.

A local police chief said: “We have got parts of the motorbike and other information that could lead us to identify the motorcyclist.

“We urge this person to hand himself in so he’s got a chance of avoiding immediate incarceration.”

The incident has meant Mr Fisher missed England's final match at this year's World Cup.

After losing 2-1 to both Italy and Uruguay in their opening two games, Roy Hodgson's footballers are heading home, disappointing the 10,000 estimated fans that travelled to Brazil for the event.

Why ID the motorcyclist? It's the fucking idiot pedestrian who ran out on the road and got hit. Didn't even use the crosswalk that was less than 10 feet away. Stupid is a stupid does.
