LONDON (Reuters) - A cyclist who slashed almost 2,000 tyres after a driver drenched him when driving through a puddle has been jailed for 16 months.

Ashley Carpenter, 37, used a sharpened screwdriver to puncture the tyres of 548 parked cars, lorries and vans over a 10-day period in revenge for the "inconsiderate manner" of motorists.

Carpenter told police he began his campaign after one car nearly knocked him down and another drove through a puddle and drenched him.

The court heard he had caused an estimated 250,000 pounds worth of damage on vehicles in Bournemouth and Christchurch.
