A vicious cyclist is being hunted by police for jumping a red light and knocking a pedestrian to the floor - with a brutal headbutt.
The cyclist was caught on camera delivering the savage blow in broad daylight, seconds after he almost collided with the pedestrian while running a red light.
City of London Police have launched an appeal to track down the cyclist, after the victim, a 57-year-old man, needed stitches.
The horrific attack was captured on CCTV in Farringdon, central London, on August 22.
Footage released by cops shows a near miss between the pedestrian, who had right of way, and the impatient cyclist.
The cyclist then got off his bike, walked over to the businessman and delivered a savage butt that left his victim sprawled on the ground.
