Cyclist Pushed Into Road: Man Hands Himself In

A man has handed himself in to police hours after video was released of a cyclist being pushed off her bike.

The incident happened on a busy street in Whitechapel, east London, at the beginning of May but video footage has only now been distributed by police.

The video, shot from the cyclist's helmet camera, shows a man shouting and swearing, calling her a f****** mug.

The man chases the cyclist, catching up with her as she nears a junction, where he pushes her into traffic.

The woman is heard calling out with shock as she falls to the ground.

A Metropolitan Police spokesman said: "At around 13:30hrs on Tuesday 25 August, a 33-year-old man attended Bethnal Green police station and identified himself as the man shown in a video released by the Met of an attack on a female cyclist in Whitechapel.

"The man was not arrested. He will be interviewed by officers from Tower Hamlets in due course."

Police said the cyclist was "very upset" following the attack "but did not require medical treatment" and managed to move herself out of the way of moving traffic.

The assault took place on Sidney Street, off Whitechapel Road, on Friday 1 May at about 6pm.
