Edward Hoey told CBC News that he was making a left turn onto downtown’s Dunsmuir Street on Jan. 24 at 4 p.m. when a driver attempted to push Hoey’s bicycle off the road.

“I have 15 years of Martial Arts training and I’m going to fuck you up,” the driver told Hoey, according to a Facebook user known as Lucille Austero. The details were posted and shared along with 27 photos from the attack.

A YouTube video that surfaced Tuesday shows the driver accusing Hoey of stealing items from his car.

“Give me my shit back, give me my f—king shit back. You want to steal stuff right out of my car?” he yells, grabbing the cyclist by the arm. As they struggle, something falls to the ground, which both men appear to reach for.

Three witnesses rush in soon after to pull the two apart.

Moments earlier, Hoey claims the driver began to honk his horn and yell at the cyclist because he was not riding in the bike lane.
