Barbed wire stretched across the trail: Biker seriously injured

What a horror: an unknown perpetrator strung barbed wire between two trees on a trail near Calgary. The wire slashed 37-year-old Stelianos Psaroudakis' neck and he ended up seriously injured in hospital. But the nightmare does not end there.

As CBS News Calgary reports, Stelianos Psaroudakis of Calgary is believed to have been the victim of suicide while on an after-work ride in the West Bragg Provincial Recreation Area, about 40 kilometers from Calgary. Den Psaroudakis was hit by a wire stretched between two trees, seriously injured in the neck and thrown from his bike.

Psaroudakis was riding with two friends who removed the wire. After the accident, the mountain bikers left the Specialized bike on the trail - to pick it up the next day. But then the bike could no longer be found. In order to raise funds for a new bike, Psaroudakis is now running a gofundme campaign; he also wants to finance wildlife cameras that could provide information about the perpetrators.

The website Dirt Mountainbike, meanwhile, states that there are doubts about Psaroudakis' story and that people should be careful when donating money.

The bodily injury caused by the wire stretched across the trail is currently being investigated by the authorities in Canada, who are looking for the perpetrators.
