Our sister site Londonist brings news of London Mayor Boris Johnson, who on Tuesday night jumped off of his bike to save a woman from an aggressive gang of teen girls. The victim of the attack, who actually voted for opponent Ken Livingstone in last year’s mayoral election, called Johnson “my knight on a shining bicycle” in comments to The Guardian.
Newark’s Mayor Cory Booker, who is often compared to Fenty, has done his share too, having busted up not one, but two crimes since coming to office. And who could forget former D.C. Mayor Anthony Williams’ post-mayoral package-stealing bandit foiling?
Enough with the crime bills and controversial police initiatives, Mayor Fenty. Get on your bike and do something about crime — with your own two hands!
