This is the shocking moment a road-rage brawl erupts between a cyclist and an HGV driver on a quiet residential street.

Dashcam footage taken from Phil Foster’s wagon shows scuffles breaking out between him and an unidentified biker who appears to have tried to overtake his vehicle.

The video captures Phil wrestling with the cyclist after they pull up a red light just after 9am in the morning in Stockport, Greater Manchester.

The bike-owner is seen throwing a number of punches at Phil who then drags him down to the ground, reports Manchester Evening News.

A stunned motorist then stops on the road to try and break up the fight, before another cyclist and pedestrian also wade in to act as peacemakers.

But despite the best efforts of the shocked onlookers, Phil and the cyclist - who is still carrying his bag and wearing his helmet - clash again before he attempts to ride away from the furore.

But as the argument comes to an end and Phil starts to drive away, amazingly two men who stopped to help are seen trying to prevent the cyclist from fleeing, and at one stage one of them is seen to pull his bike to the ground.

The incredible scenes have now been watched thousands of times after being shared by Phil on YouTube.

Alongside the video Phil, from Reddish, writes: “I was sat at the lights, a van was in the right hand lane with his left indicator on to come into my lane.

"As the lights changed to green, the car pulled off and the van eased in my lane. No problems or issues.

“As I checked my mirrors, I saw a cyclist in my right hand mirror and presumed he would be turning right as he was in the right hand lane.

"As I passed the turning he was still overtake the line of cars and was at the rear of my trailer and obviously going straight on.

“I held my hand up in a shrug and then he shook his head.

“You can hear the rest on the video.”

And after the footage was shared online hundreds of people have commented to air their views on the incident, which happened last month.

After some posted messages of support for the cyclist in the furore, Phil posted: “It is his responsibility to understand the road ahead, not for me to allow him passage.

"All road users have the same responsibility and if this was the other way round (and often is by many motorists) then I would have been fed to the devil.

"I could quote many items from the HC that he failed to adhere to but as you are a professional driver then you will know them all.

"He risked his own life by his own actions, I saved his life by being aware of him before it was too late.

"No need to thank me.“
