I also had an incident in that section, hit by a jogger who abruptly decided to turn just as I was passing and threw me into traffic. There are so many incidents in Central Park that they always have a few ambulances stationed there on weekends.
Last year here in Philly a middle-aged man was hit by a cyclist while walking home from his job a paralegal. He was knocked to the ground, hit his head, and later died from his injuries. The cyclist got up, straightened his bars, and rode off. He has not been identified or caught despite the victim's employer offering a substantial reward.
