A binman punched a naked cyclist taking part in a charity event after mistaking him for a “pervert”.
Lee Turnage, 46, injured the cyclist who was riding in the World Naked Bike Ride event on August 9, a court heard.
He was also found with a knife and attacked two police officers who tried to arrest him outside The Leather Bottle pub in Colchester, Essex.
One of the officers needed medical treatment to glue part of his ear back on as a result of the attack, Ipswich Crown Court was told.
Steven Dyble, mitigating, said the incident began when Turnage “encountered a number of middle-aged men cycling in the nude”.

Pretty funny that whether you're deemed a pervert or not is based on intention rather than impact.
A kid will be traumatized by the sight of a naked man... unless he's naked for charity. Then the trauma switch turns off I guess. The little auditor in your brain that catalogues your experiences knows to not file the event in the trauma section if the naked man is only naked to raise money for a food bank.
