Police are searching for a motorist who harassed a cyclist at traffic lights in York before running over the bike.
The incident took place at about 5.45pm on Monday, September 12.
The cyclist was cycling from Clifton Green towards Rawcliffe Lane.
When the cyclist stopped in the right-hand filter lane for Rawcliffe Lane, a dark-coloured 4×4 vehicle, believed to be an Audi, pulled up behind him.
The car nudged the rear tyre of the cycle on several occasions. The cyclist got off his cycle, and the car then ran over it, causing extensive damage to the back wheel.
Then the car drove off towards Shipton Road. Fortunately, no one was injured during the incident.
This was a busy time of day on a main road in York, and so police are appealing for anyone who may have witnessed the incident, or has dashcam footage of it or the car involved, to get in touch.
