The driver appeared to accelerate toward the cyclist, mounting the curb and hitting him, before dragging the twisted metal of the bicycle for another 130 metres.
Police are appealing for a driver to hand themselves in after they allegedly deliberately veered into the path of a cyclist in Melbourne’s south-east, leaving the man with cuts and bruises.
The driver initially stopped to allow the 59-year-old cyclist to pass before accelerating toward him, mounting the curb and hitting him. “I heard the acceleration behind me and I thought, ‘here’s another smart arse, they’re going to rev, scare me and then keep going.’ And the next thing, the world was spinning.“I get a lot of abuse on the road as a cyclist, and this one hit me.”The sedan was last seen being driven north-west through the intersection of Douglas Street and Heatherton Road.
