A 21-YEAR-OLD Clifton Springs driver is facing charges after being caught pelting a cyclist with food wrappers.

Police said a witnesses alerted authorities to the attack on Lower Duneed Rd, Mount Duneed, about 1.15pm Tuesday.

Leading Senior Constable Jeff Brough said two cyclists were heading west towards the Surf Coast Hwy roundabout when the incident occurred.

But police are yet to track down the unlucky bike riders and are urging them to come forward and contact Torquay police on 5264 3400.

“We received a complaint from a witness who saw a motorist throw scrunched up rubbish out of their vehicle hitting one of the two cyclists,” he said.

“Subsequently we’ve interviewed the offending driver and he can expect to be charged no summons.

“We’re now seeking the identity of the cyclists in question and need them to contact us.”
