A 30-year-old man remains in a critical condition after being kicked off his bike by another cyclist and crashing into a car.

The victim was cycling on Wallis Road, Hackney Wick, east London, at about 12.45pm on 10 March when another man caught him up and began to ride alongside him.

Scotland Yard said his attacker then kicked the victim off his bike before cycling away in the direction of Berkshire Road. The victim was taken by ambulance to an east London hospital.

The suspect is described as a white male in his 20s or 30s. Police also want to hear from anyone who may have been threatened or assaulted by him in and around Hackney.
