A van driver has presented himself to the police after this shocking footage emerged of a cyclist being knocked from his bike and then assaulted.
However, while the cyclist in question had already reported the matter, he has stopped short of making a criminal complaint.
And despite the seriousness of the incident, it appears it may go no further although a police statement said its "enquiries continue".
The events captured on the cyclist's headcam occurred in the Hornchurch area of London.
The cyclist first tangled with the van at a junction as a refuse lorry turning left slowed both, above.
When the van then passed the cyclist a little further up the road, the cyclist shouted at the driver to get off the phone.
He was then squeezed into the side of the road by the vehicle and fell to the ground, above.
