Video: Road sign pushed into cyclist on Bath's London Road

Rider manages to stay on bike; witnesses say other objects were thrown at passing vehicles

A woman in Bath has been filmed pushing a road sign into a cyclist as he rode along the city’s London Road this afternoon.

Ben Baldwin, who took the footage, said he did so because the woman, who can be heard shouting in the video, had already thrown several other items including traffic cones into the road.

Another Twitter user, Danny Minty, told Mr Baldwin that he had seen the same person throw a dustbin lid at a car.

The woman had run up to the temporary roadworks sign to push it into the cyclist, who seemed to have been deliberately targeted, but who managed to stay on his feet as a car passed.

Mr Bernards said in a subsequent tweet that the cyclist was “ok” and the police had been notified.
