When cyclist confronted the driver, a passenger emerged and hit him in fight which was caught on camera




Angry at a car that had edged into a cycle-only box at traffic lights, this determined cyclist decided to give the occupants a piece of his mind. Not once, but twice.



First the man remonstrated with them by shouting through the window of the white Audi A7 which had crept into the zone reserved for cyclists.

When the Audi sped off, the infuriated cyclist rode as fast as he could to catch up with it at the next set of lights and keep up his high-volume rant.

The incident was captured by another cyclist's helmet camera as he travelled to work along the busy Farringdon Road in central London.

One smartly dressed man remonstrated with the car's driver, telling him he was not supposed to be there because the space was reserved for cyclists, but the motorist sped off.



The cyclist can be seen riding as fast as possible to catch up with the motorist at the next set of lights, where he confronted him once again.

He called the driver a 'f***ing p***k' and added that the Audi had nearly run over his foot.

Investigation: Police are hoping to hear from the cyclist who was knocked to the ground

But then a passenger suddenly got out and hit the cyclist with a left hook, before pushing him off his bike and into a taxi, which was also waiting in traffic. He yelled obscenities at the man then returned to the Audi and was driven away.

The incident was filmed and uploaded to YouTube by 26-year-old Jude, a magazine editor.



He said he could not tell whether or not the car had hit the man's bike, but insisted that the driver paid 'little or no attention to the safety of the cyclist'.



He added: 'Confrontations between cyclists and motorists are a daily occurrence in the same way that drivers shouting at other drivers from inside their car is common.



'That this resulted in physical violence is what makes it so shocking, I have never seen that before.

'It was shocking, you do not expect to see that kind of behaviour on the roads.'



A spokesman for the Metropolitan Police said that officers were aware of the incident but had not received a complaint.
