World Naked Bike Ride Cyclists Shot by Man With Paintball Gun

[Sherman A1]

Participants in the World Naked Bike Ride on Saturday were attacked by a man wielding a paintball gun, and the terrifying incident was caught on video.

The annual bike ride — which is usually a happy event that celebrates community, bike safety and body positivity — attracted more than 1,000 riders who pedaled through the city of St. Louis while letting it all hang out.

The participants are normally met with cheers and giggles from onlookers, but one man decided to use them for target practice.

Filmed by Brian Krazer in Tower Grove Park, a video of the attack shows a man take aim with a paintball gun and open fire on bicyclists. The 21-second clip even shows him walking closer to the bike path as they stream past, and he appears to unload at least nine shots on the riders.

1. I hope they nail this guy and throw him into jail...other than possibly putting someone's eye out...

this is assault, a public nuisance, disturbing the peace, disruption of a peaceful assembly and possibly terrorism ... this happened in a very nice urban park (Tower Grove Park, by my house, which is where George Bernard Shaw's home is located, and just down the street from the Botanical Gardens, a world class Garden).

This is also a federal park too (Tower Grove Park), and not a city park.

2. Ever been hit with one of those paint "bullets" ?

It hurts.

He needs to be found and held accountable.
