Shocking video shows driver trying to ram car into group of cyclists

A cyclist has captured the shocking moment a driver tried to ram his car into a group of riders after hurling cans out of his window at the group.

Nick Finegold was travelling along the cycle Superhighway in Stockwell, South London, at 8am on Wednesday morning when he caught the incident on camera.

The driver of the black Audi can be seen throwing objects from his vehicle at the group of cyclists, and shouts at one man, who is in the cycle lane, to get away from his car.

Nick said: ‘As I arrived the driver was throwing bottles and cans through his window at the cyclist in red, shouting to keep away from his car,

‘I had been previously riding with the group and all appeared to be responsible riders.

‘The driver was getting more aggressive as the cyclist stood there in disbelief of what was happening.

‘At that point he drove off trying to ram the cyclist in red. He drove at speed up the road taking the first left, this point was slightly out of sight for me, but I know at that time it’s very very busy with riders on the CS7.’

The Audi can be seen driving away at speed, and the footage then shows one man with his bike on the ground who appears to have been knocked over.

The motorist then turns round and drives onto the pavement towards the cyclist who had fallen down.

Police sirens can then be heard as the driver reverses away from the group.

Nick said: ‘As I approached the junction where he turned left, a second cyclist was picking his bike from the floor, he states he was completely cut-up, I don’t know if he was struck.
