Two men have been arrested after a cyclist was pulled from his bike and stabbed in the street.

The 29-year-old man, who was stabbed in Barn Cottage Lane, Haywards Heath, West Sussex, suffered a cardiac arrest in the back of an ambulance as paramedics rushed him to hospital on Friday evening 

Detectives said today that they were treating the death as murder and said that a 51-year-old man and a 21-year-old man had both been arrested on suspicion of causing the rider's death.  

Police from a major crime team said that they believed the killing was a targetted attack and it was understood that the assailants were in a car and lay in waiting for the cyclist to ride past them.

Paramedics rushed to the scene at 8.20pm after the alarm was raised and found the bike rider lying on the ground in a large pool of blood. 

He was given emergency treatment at the scene and put on a stretcher in the ambulance but as the crew travelled through nearby Ditchling Common the victim suffered a cardiac arrested and died on board the 999 vehicle.

Police were called and eventually his body was taken to the mortuary at the Royal Sussex County Hospital in Brighton where a Home Office pathologist will carry out a post mortem examination to establish exactly how he died. 

An inquest is expected to be opened and adjourned after the Christmas break.

It was understood that the ambulance involved was seized for several hours for forensic examination and the paramedics were interviewed by detectives who later handed the case over to the Surrey and Sussex Police Major Crime Team.

To achieve her kick-ass figure, Hayden – who plays cheerleader Claire Bennet in Heroes – follows the ‘quartering’ rule. She eats only a quarter of the food on her plate, then waits 20 minutes before deciding whether she needs to eat again.

Hayden says: “I don’t have a model’s body, but I’m not one of those crazy girls who thinks that they’re fat. I’m OK with what I have.”

Nicollette says: “I don’t like diets – I see it, I eat it! I believe in eating healthily with lots of protein, vegetables and carbs to give you energy.”
