Audi driver's attack on cyclist goes viral

Comments

A cyclist's helmet camera captures the moment a driver of a high-powered Audi A7 pushed another cyclist off his bicycle in central London during the morning rush-hour.

The altercation appeared to be triggered when the car pulled into a cycle-only box at traffic lights on busy Farringdon Road, which connects the City with Islington to the north.

Footage of the incident has been watched more than half a million times since it was uploaded onto YouTube last Thurday, when the incident took place.

The 26-year-old cyclist who recorded the incident, whose name is Jude, said: "I pulled up and when waiting for the lights to change, the Audi pulled into the box relatively aggressively.

"It wasn't shown clearly in the video how close he was to the cyclist and how intimidating this would have been.

"In reality cyclists do not like being near cars, and so when this was pointed out by the cyclist - in my opinion as a safety measure as opposed to antagonising - it was shocking to see the disregard shown to the safety of the the cyclist."

He added: "I do not agree with the response of the cyclist in shouting through the window of the car, but in reality this looked like a case of red mist that everybody will have experienced at some point.

"When the passenger of the car got out and punched the cyclist I was shocked, as that level of violence was disproportionate to say the least."

Jude, a sports journalist, declined to give his full name because he has received threats on YouTube after posting the video. At the time of the incident he was reviewing the helmet camera for a sports technology magazine.

A Scotland Yard spokesman has confirmed detectives want to speak with the motorist. The cyclist has lodged an allegation of assault, he added.
