Surveillance video shows the pedestrian attempting to cross College Street, near Euclid Avenue, on Sunday when the 53-year-old cyclist passes by and slaps him. The pedestrian falls to the ground, gets up and runs to his car, parked nearby. The car speeds out of the frame, chasing the cyclist.

The driver allegedly caught up to the cyclist and ran him over. He then fled the scene.

The cyclist was taken to hospital with serious non-life threatening injuries and was unable to discuss the ordeal, Const. Jenifferjit Sidhu said.

The driver is described as male, 5’8″ with a medium build, driving a black, 2001-2005 BMW M3 or 3 series with damage on the front, right side. Police would not comment on whether the cyclist would face charges for slapping the man.

“We need to locate this [driver] and get the full story,” Const. Sidhu said.
