This is the shocking moment a car driver deliberately rammed into a cyclist, knocking him off his bike before fleeing.

Police have released footage of the incident as they hunt for the motorist responsible.

In the footage, filmed by the driver's passenger, the car follows the cyclist before veering towards the pavement and hitting him.

Picking himself off the ground, the cyclist shouts "what are you f****** doing you p****" before the car drives off. The driver and passenger can then be heard giggling.

Officers believe the video was filmed last year on the Longmead Estate in Epsom.
