A motorist has been arrested after allegedly threatening to “knock out” BBC Radio 2 presenter Jeremy Vine.

Vine posted a video of a young woman ranting at him as he cycled through Kensington on his way home.

The footage, showing a motorist screaming, “Get the f*** out of the road” before apparently kicking his bike, was viewed half a million times online.

A Met spokeswoman said officers from Kensington and Chelsea arrested a woman on Friday.

She said: “The 22-year-old woman was arrested on suspicion of common assault and a public order offence. She has been bailed to return to police on a date in early September.”

A 22-year-old has since spoken out to say she felt victimised by Vine and that his “dangerous” cycling provoked her.

Shayna, a student from Brixton, told the Sun: “Everyone’s been slating me online and there’s been a real racist element too.

"He made me look impatient but he was riding on the pavement and came out on to the road in front of me, with no hand signals. He was dangerous. He pulled out in front of me, making me have to make an emergency stop. Then he had the arrogance and cheek to block me in the middle of the road, that’s what set me off.”
