Ian Hislop<\/a> has obtained injuries after being hit by an electric bike.<\/p>\n

The 64-year-old BBC<\/a> star hurt his head in the accident, and is wearing a large bandage on the place he was struck.<\/p>\n

On Wednesday evening, Have I Got News For You’s presenter was crossing the road when he collided with a speedy bike.<\/p>\n

Ian was given medical attention, and had the dressing applied. He is now said to be okay.<\/p>\n

This was confirmed in a statement by editor Ian’s magazine Private Eye to The Sun<\/a>.<\/p>\n

The bandage was visible as he attended an event later that evening with his wife of 36 years Victoria Hislop.<\/p>\n

This comes just months after Ian was travelling in a taxi when the rear window smashed<\/a>. He was sitting in the back seat of the time, but no injuries were reported. The incident took place near a junction on Oxford Street, close to where Private Eye\u2019s offices are located.<\/p>\n

It was initially believed the London<\/a> black taxi had been hit by a bullet, but the Metropolitan Police<\/a> later confirmed there is \u2018no evidence of a firearms discharge at this time\u2019.<\/p>\n

In an October episode of Have I Got News For You, he said: \u2018I always say at this point I\u2019m glad to be here, but this week I really mean it.’<\/p>\n

He also revealed the question that the police asked him during the investigation. <\/p>\n

\u2018There was one high point when a policeman investigating me said \u201cthis may be a silly question, but is there anyone who might have a grudge against you?\u201d\u2018<\/p>\n

Ian has been team captain on the BBC comedy current affairs quiz show since its first episode in 1990, and has been the editor of Private Eye magazine since 1986.<\/p>\n
