This is the shocking moment a cyclist was left fighting for life after being kicked off his bike by a fellow rider in east London.

CCTV released by the Met Police shows the 30-year-old man riding on a quiet road in Hackney when another man cycles alongside him.

The other cyclist suddenly kicks out, sending the victim flying off his bike and causing him to crash head first into a parked car.

He was rushed by ambulance to an east London hospital, where he remains in critical condition more than a week after the attack.

Scotland Yard has said the motive for the attack is not known.

The incident happened in Wallis Road, near Hackney Wick station, at about 12.45pm on Sunday, March 10.

The suspect, described as a white male in his 20s or 30s, cycled away from the scene in the direction of Berkshire Road, police said.

A spokesman added: “Officers also want to hear from anyone who may have been threatened or assaulted by this suspect in and around Hackney.”

Anyone who witnessed the incident, who recognises the man shown in the CCTV or has information that may assist police is asked to call Central East CID via 101 quoting CAD reference 3718/10MAR19.

To remain anonymous call Crimestoppers on 0800 555 111.
