Police investigate cut to man’s neck
SUISUN CITY — Police are investigating the cause of a deep cut to the neck of a man who was stopped late Tuesday on his bicycle.
Cmdr. Tim Mattos said the Suisun City Police Department is looking into whether foul play was a factor in the injury, but have yet to make a determination. Mattos said multiple people have been eliminated as suspects and he is waiting for the victim’s health to improve before an interview can take place.
Lawrence Byrd, 52, of Suisun City, was first seen on his bicycle by police at around 10:30 p.m. Tuesday in the area of Bella Vista and Montebello drives.
The stop began when an officer on a routine patrol nearly hit the man on the bicycle, Mattos said. After trying to stop the man, he briefly fled, Mattos said. When the officer finally apprehended Byrd at the intersection of Montebello and Walters Road, he noticed the cut.
Police noticed Byrd had a deep laceration to his neck and called for an air ambulance, which landed nearby.
Mattos said Byrd was still under sedation Wednesday and couldn’t clearly communicate during an attempted interview. Mattos said he hoped to have more information Thursday.

Doesn't sound like a desirable neighborhood to live in. Lots of burglaries, unsolved murders, attacks on citizens with no prosecutions, nuisance activities and blight, incompetent and biased policing, no-policing, cops caught and fired for goofing off---Please Visit Beautiful Suisun City, California. It projects such an aura of sweetness and light.

i live right around the corner from where this event occurred..and have lived in this same house since i was born in '85 although i despise the "so called" law enforcement in solano county for interfering with my life with such drastic measures (thanks officer soldo) just because you see a white guy, a black guy and an asian guy in the same car doesnt give you the right to insinuate that we are up to no good, you ever heard of 3 innocent tax paying americans going to play softball?? are you guys that oblivious to how diverse california really is?? or solano county for that matter?? oh yea i cant forget to mention the bias judgements of peter foor as well, hmmmmm u were once a public defender and now ur a judge?? these arent coincidences people..solano county is beyond crooked!
