The shocking moment when a £47,000 black Jaguar runs over an expensive motorcycle, smashing it to pieces and leaving onlookers horrified has been captured on video.
A lycra-clad cyclist stands at the junction of Kilburn High Road and Brondesbury Road after an altercation with the driver of the Jaguar.
The cyclist holds a phone to his ear and is said to have been on the phone with the police.
Moments later, the Jaguar jerks forward, giving the cyclist milliseconds to jump out of the way of the SUV.

The video has divided opinion on social media, with many criticizing the cyclist for standing with his bike in the middle of a busy intersection. Others have said the Jaguar driver was ‘dangerous’, and one user said he was a ‘crazy’
Some on social media supported the driver, some complained about cyclists’ actions in general.
Users pointed out that the cyclist on the phone appeared to be crossing the road and that the Jaguar was in a yellow box, meaning it had to move.
But others have said the driver overreacted and drove dangerously.
One user said, “God, I’m not even a cyclist and I don’t really like them. But the amount of idiots in these comments defending the driver, frankly.’
Another account said the driver was a “lunatic.”
A spokesperson for the Metropolitan Police said: ‘Police were called for Kilburn High Road NW6 at 1:23pm on 13 November.
A man reported that his bike was run over by a car after a verbal altercation with the driver. The man suffered no injuries.
“The case was closed through a community order issued to the driver, who also agreed to pay damages to the man.”
