Shocking footage has emerged of a Christchurch cyclist abusing a female driver and bashing her car window.
According to a witness the cyclist was attempting to go around a bus when he was cut off by a car, causing the cyclist to rage.
"The cyclist signalled to go around a bus, then the green car crossed the centre line to get around but then suddenly cut right across the cyclist nearly hitting him," the witness told the Herald.
As traffic ground to a halt, the cyclist is seen approaching the green car before attempting to pull the door handle and hurling abuse towards the female driver.
But after not getting a response from the driver, he begins to lash out.
