EXCLUSIVE: Dramatic moment fight breaks out between bus driver and cyclist during morning commute

This is the dramatic moment a fight broke out between a cyclist and bus driver on a busy London road.

The altercation happened between a man and woman on the 49 bus route near Battersea Bridge, London, at 7.20am on Tuesday.

The footage, captured by a commuter, shows the cyclist knock the bus driver’s phone out of his hand when approaching her.

The bus driver then pushes her and scrambles to pick up his phone, only to stand back up and knock the cyclist’s hat off.

The cyclist quickly slaps the bus driver to which he forcefully kicks her bike, causing other commuters to intervene.

A witness said she didn’t see how it began but other passengers claimed the cyclist kept ‘hitting the bus’ with her hand as the bus went over Battersea Bridge.

She said the bus driver ‘yelled’ at the cyclist about halfway across the bridge which caused the cyclist to dismount and ‘hold up all traffic’.

The cyclist then began to ‘taunt’ the driver and cycle ‘really slowly’ in front of the bus, according to the witness.

She said the altercation lasted for about ten minutes before the cyclist sped away.
