Man Charged After Hitting Elderly Cyclist

Casey McBride, 36, of the 600 block of Leonard Avenue in Valley Park, was charged April 30 with first-degree assault or attempt involving serious physical injury or a special victim, armed criminal action, and fourth-degree assault, according to the St. Louis County Prosecuting Attorney’s Office. McBride is being held on a $350,000 cash-only bond with no 10% option.

The incident occurred about 2:10 p.m. Wednesday, April 29, when officers from the St. Louis County Police Department’s West County Precinct Valley Park Detail responded to an assault call in the 500 block of Vest Avenue.

Officers investigating the case learned the victim and McBride had been involved in a verbal altercation earlier at Schnucks Twin Oaks in the 1300 block of Big Bend Boulevard, police said. Both left the store, but McBride later saw the victim riding a bicycle near the intersection of Fern Ridge Avenue and Lookout Avenue, police said. A short time later, the suspect vehicle struck the victim in the 500 block of Vest Avenue. Police said the suspect and victim are known to one another.

The probable cause statement says that on April 29, “witnesses observed the defendant following the victim and repeatedly cutting him off to yell at him.” It says McBride “again caught up to the victim and struck the victim’s bicycle while the victim was on it,” knocking the victim to the ground. The statement says the bicycle was dragged by the truck and the victim was hospitalized for a broken hip.

The probable cause statement also says that upon arrest, McBride struggled with officers, tried to spit at one, and grabbed an officer’s genitals after threatening to do so. It says McBride admitted to driving the truck but said “he only tapped the victim’s bike with his truck.” The statement says McBride has a prior assault and armed criminal action conviction.

St. Louis County Police Department West County Precinct officers are handling the investigation.

Charges are accusations, and defendants are presumed innocent unless proven guilty in a court of law.
