Shocking CCTV shows moment cyclist is left fighting for life after being kicked off bike in east London

This is the shocking moment a cyclist was left fighting for life after being kicked off his bike by a fellow rider in east London.

CCTV released by the Met Police shows the 30-year-old man riding on a quiet road in Hackney when another man cycles alongside him.

The other cyclist suddenly kicks out, sending the victim flying off his bike and causing him to crash head first into a parked car.

He was rushed by ambulance to an east London hospital, where he remains in critical condition more than a week after the attack.
