A Calgary cyclist had his neck sliced by barbed wire strung across a trail earlier this week.

Stelianos Psaroudakis says he was out for a fun evening ride in West Bragg Creek, about 50 kilometres outside Calgary, on July 5 at about 8 p.m. MT.

Early into his ride, he went down a hill standing up when he saw something in his peripheral vision.

"It was too late," he told CBC News Friday afternoon. "Just hit me right in the neck like a ton of bricks."

His neck is sliced from ear to ear, more than half a centimetre deep in places.

'Trying to kill somebody'

Psaroudakis, a lifelong cyclist, believes the barbed wire was intentionally hung to hurt somebody. The wire was attached to a tree on either side of the trail at the bottom of a hill around a corner.

"They're malicious. They're trying to kill somebody. This is like attempted murder," he said. "If it was like... an inch higher, it would have taken my head off."
