Met police hunt 'stolen car' driver who nearly crashed into cyclists
Footage shows car heading down south London pavement as driver threatens cyclists
Police are hunting for a man who was filmed appearing to drive a car along a pavement towards cyclists, telling them the vehicle was stolen, then reversing it at speed away from officers down a side road.
Scotland Yard said they had received a complaint that the driver nearly hit cyclists repeatedly in south London. The video shows him throwing rubbish from the car at one of the cyclists before speeding off. Further up the road, the man is seen arguing with another cyclist until an unmarked police car arrives.
“Luckily no one was seriously injured or even killed by this reckless driver. We are still trying to trace him and urge anyone who recognises him to contact the police as soon as possible. The sooner you call us, the sooner we can take this dangerous driver off the road,” said DC James Preston from Brixton CID.
