This is a photo of the main suspect who tried to ram cyclists with a stolen car - wearing false plates - during rush hour in Clapham.

It has been released by Scotland Yard detectives who have named him as Shane Seymour.

Footage shows the black Audi almost hitting several cyclists with the driver also shouting at other motorists and even throwing missiles at them.

Dave Clifton, 50, was nearly struck by the driver at roughly 8am last Wednesday.

In the footage captured by Mr Clifton, an IT consultant, the video starts with the driver yelling while stopped at traffic near Clapham North station.

The driver then swerves into a bus lane and nearly strikes the cyclist for the first time.

He stops at a further set of lights and the driver repeatedly throws debris from his car at the cyclist while continuing to shout swear words.

The Audi takes a left onto a side street where a witness said he nearly hit another cyclist, according to police.

A large group of bikers stop and the driver turns around, mounts the pavement and drives towards them.

A police officer in an unmarked car turns up to cheers, but the driver reverses down Dorset Road at speed.

Mr Clifton told MailOnline: "'It's worrying having drivers on the road like that, certainly.

"It's all just really bizarre. I don't know if he's just having a bad morning or what. He seems to be picking on everybody."

Detective Constable James Preston from Brixton CID, said: "We have been working hard to investigate this incident since first becoming aware of it - and now have an image of our main suspect.

"Today we are naming this man as Shane Seymour. He is known to have links to South London and the Canterbury area.

"Have you seen him, or do you know where he is? Please contact us or Crimestoppers if so as we urgently need to speak to him in relation to this matter. If any members of the public spot him, do not approach him but call 999 straight away.

"It is only a matter of luck that no-one was seriously injured or even killed by this reckless driver. The sooner we can apprehend him, the better.

"We’d also still like to hear from anyone who witnessed this first-hand who have not yet come forward. Anything you may be able to remember and tell us could really help this investigation.

"I would like to thank the public in advance for their help with our enquiries."
