A bunch of thoughtless yobs filmed themselves shoving an innocent cyclist off his bike as they drove past him in a moving car.

The disturbing footage, which shows the biker slam face-first into the ground following the attack, appeared online earlier this week.

Just before the callous push, one of the three in the car repeatedly says "film it".

One passenger then leans out and pushes the poor cyclist who could have been seriously hurt or even killed if he had slipped under the wheels of the car.

The sniggering louts drove off but posted the 14-second video on Facebook where it has been widely condemned.

Louise Littlechild wrote: "Not funny at all. Dangerous."

Tom Donnelly added: "It's funny, but at the same time it isn't."

It is not known if the cyclist was injured or where the footage was recorded.
