Spokeswoman Sarah Hamilton said in a statement that the mayor had surgery Sunday at the UCLA Medical Center in Santa Monica.

The mayor is expected to make a full recovery, and will attempt to return to his normal schedule this week.

The accident happened about 6:50 p.m. Saturday night when a taxi abruptly pulled in front of him while he was riding in the bike lane on Venice Boulevard in the Mid-City area. The mayor hit his brakes and fell off the bike.

He was transported to Ronald Reagan/UCLA Medical Center, where he was treated for the broken bone.
