Toronto police are investigating a confrontation caught on video of a taxi swerving into a bike courier.

The incident occurred downtown last Thursday on Bay Street, between St. Mary Street and Charles Street West.

The video shows the bicycle courier riding between the curb and the taxi, a silver 2011 Toyota Camry, on a narrow lane marked by shared pavement markings. After shouting something at the driver, the cyclist slaps the taxi’s passenger window. The driver then swerves into him, knocking him onto the curb.

“You saw that,” the cyclist said. “Call the police.”

Turning to the driver, he said, “You’re going to jail. That is assault.”

Several witnesses came to the aid of the cyclist, 31, who suffered minor injuries. At least two bystanders accused the driver of harassing the cyclist.

A spokesperson for Favour Delivery, the courier’s employer, said they’re in close contact with their cyclist.

“We are extremely concerned about the incident. The safety of our Runners is a top priority.”

Ambassador Taxi service did not respond to a request for comment.

Police are seeking four witnesses that attended the scene.

No charges have been laid.
