A 25-year-old Cambridge cyclist said he was intentionally hit by a motor vehicle after exchanging angry words with the driver, police said.

A man and woman were riding their bikes along Massachusetts Avenue around 5:35 p.m. April 29 when they noticed a motor vehicle parked in the bike lane. In order to avoid the car, they momentarily passed into the vehicle lane, at which point the driver of a 2012 Chrysler, later identified as Reda Bichri, 30, of 307 Clifton St., Malden, allegedly came up behind them and laid on his horn.

The male cyclist and driver exchanged words as the two cyclists rode back into the marked bike lane. At this point, Bichri allegedly made an abrupt and intentional swerve into the bike lane, striking the male cyclist and forcing him to crash into a second car.

The driver of the second car told police she saw Bichri swerve into the bike lane and hit the cyclist, according to the report.

Bichri was arrested on Hudson Street on the charges of assault and battery with a dangerous weapon and marked lanes violation.
