This is the dramatic moment a fight broke out between a cyclist and a bus driver on a busy London road.
The altercation occurred between a man and a woman on the 49 bus route near Battersea Bridge, London, at 7:20am on Tuesday.
The footage, captured by a commuter, shows the cyclist knocking the phone out of the bus driver’s hand as he approaches her.
The bus driver then pushes her away and rushes to pick up her phone, only to get back up and take the cyclist’s hat off.
The cyclist quickly slaps the bus driver who kicks her bike hard, prompting the intervention of other travelers.
A witness said he did not see how it started, but other passengers claimed the cyclist continued to “bang the bus” with her hand as the vehicle passed over Battersea Bridge.
She said the bus driver “yelled” at the cyclist halfway across the bridge, causing the cyclist to get off and “stop all traffic.”
The cyclist then began to ‘taunt’ the driver and pedal ‘very slowly’ in front of the bus, according to the witness.
She said the altercation lasted about 10 minutes before the cyclist sped away.
