This is the shocking moment a cyclist is punched in the face after being grabbed by an angry motorist who reportedly also knocked a woman off her bike.
The driver of a black Nissan became enraged that the cycling group was riding two side-by-side, something thatis legal to do in the UK.
Cyclist Ady Short was out with seven others when he was grabbed and punched repeatedly in the head by the enraged driver.
Dramatic footage shows how the confrontation escalates when the driver goes past sticking up his middle finger.
The cyclist then stops and appears to try and talk to the driver, putting their hand on the side mirror.
Moments later, the driver puts their arm out and grabs the cyclist before hurling punches.
The cyclist then topples to the ground.
The horrifying scenes were caught on a camera that was on the back of another cyclist's bike.
Towards the end of the dramatic clip, the cyclist with the camera falls as it appears they are knocked off by the car.
And as the chaos draws to a close, it appears the cyclist with the camera falls off their bike after being knocked by the car.
Cyclist Ady claimed to Road.cc : "He followed us for about 90 seconds, overtook us and braked hard in front of the group causing us to swerve around him but as we rode around him he took off again within the group causing further issues whilst remonstrating about us not singling out (he wouldn’t have got past one person let alone eight through the bendy section).
"He was very angry as you can see but before I could explain he started hitting me, I just suffered a black eye as a result and didn’t actually get the chance to say anything before he hit me."
He also claimed his wife was knocked off her bike by the driver.
Cyclists are permitted to ride two abreast, however, the Highway Code says that they should "ride in single file on narrow or busy roads and when riding round bends".
Ady explained why he had tried to speak to the driver in the first place.
He added: "Generally, in our experience, it just humanises the situation if we can let them blow off steam and appear calm, so we usually explain that we all drive cars as well and apologise for any inconvenience even though we shouldn’t have to apologise.
Wiltshire Police handed the driver a caution for the unprovoked attack, which the group are thinking of appealing.
