Police tape (CC licensed by freefotouk on Flickr)Witness appeal after cyclist assaulted by car occupant in attack filmed by passenger
Police are appealing for witnesses after a cyclist was assaulted in Berkshire by a car passenger who filmed the attack.
The incident happened last Sunday on the B4000 at Stockcross as the cyclist, a 61-year-old man, headed towards Wickham, say Thames Valley Police.
A vehicle was driven up behind the rider, who felt something hit him on the back,and as the vehicle passed him, he saw a holdall hanging out of the window, with a front-seat passenger filming what was happening.
Police say that the man filming was white, in his thirties and had short dark hair. The car involved, a saloon, was dark in colour and possibly a BMW.
Anyone who has information is asked to contack PC Gary Hemmings at Newbury Police station, or the charity Crimestoppers, anonymously, on 0800 555111.

Team car handing out a doggy bag.
Had similar here in Wales. Not filmed like in this case.That should make it easier as plod just needs to check social media for the incriminating evidence.
It's time courts wiped the smiles off the faces of these scumbags for good with proper sentencing.
Just utter scumbags. The sort of morons who recently shouted 'rarrrrrr ' at me from a passing van.
I think that might just have been friendly pirates admiring your bike. Different scenario completely.
Different scenario but same type of twat. The kind who think it's funny to see a cyclist fall off their bike; never for a moment considering that it's a human being and they could be seriously hurt.
I'm glad some people still have a sense of humour!
what is wrong with people?
