Police are looking for this man after he apparently pushed a cyclist off her bike and into oncoming traffic.

The woman, in her 40s, asked the man not to knock her off and he can be heard saying ‘shut up to her’.

She continues to cycle away and sticks her finger up at him. So he chases after her shouting abuse and then knocks her down.

The woman escaped unharmed following the incident on May 1 on Sydney Street in Whitechapel, East London.

A Metropolitan Police spokesman said: ‘Police were called to reports of a female cyclist assaulted on Sidney Street, off Whitechapel Road shortly after 18:00hrs on Friday, 1 May.

‘The man swore at her and chased her down the street. He shouted at her and then pushed her off her bike into the path of passing traffic.

‘Fortunately, she managed to get out of the road and move herself and her bike to safety out of the way of moving traffic.

‘The woman was very upset following the assault but did not require medical attention.’
