Ian Hislop Injured by Electric Bike in London

Ian Hislop, the 64-year-old editor of Private Eye and team captain on 'Have I Got News For You', was struck by an electric bike while crossing the road in London on December 12, resulting in a head injury that required medical attention. Hislop was seen with a bandaged head following the incident, but thankfully, he sustained no serious injuries. This collision follows an earlier scare in October, where Hislop thought he had been shot at in a taxi due to a shattered window; police later determined it was a mechanical fault. Staff at Private Eye expressed concern over the recent events, which they found quite stressful. Hislop has thanked those who reached out with concern about his well-being, stating their support is greatly appreciated. Known for his satirical commentary and investigative journalism, Hislop has been a prominent figure in British media since taking over Private Eye in 1986.
