These Three Drive-By Thugs Shove An Unlucky Cyclist Into A Ditch
“Get close to him and I'll knock him right in the hedge”

This is the moment three men deliberately push a cyclist into a hedge while he was riding at speed, risking his life in a totally despicable ‘prank’ that you won’t believe until you see it.
The men are riding in what we’d guess to be, from the look of the centre console, an old Audi (edit: confirmed as a BMW E46 3 Series, but damn me if it doesn’t look quite a lot like an old A4) with an automatic gearbox, a cassette deck (ooh, retro) and a bit of wood trim.
In the footage, which was originally uploaded to Facebook by a Philip Critchley, the man who did the pushing – which is at the very least assault, but probably more – can be heard telling the driver: “get close to him and I’ll knock him right in the hedge.”
He knocks the biker, who is travelling at a fair pace, off balance and the three scumbags laugh like hyenas as they watch their victim plunge off the road and into a ditch, where who knows what harm befell the poor guy – and his bike.
We hope karma soon finds these guys and delivers appropriate vengeance. And if someone catches that moment on camera, so be it…

Can someone please follow up on this? Surely the police will be involved?
Dickheads. Hope they’re caught quickly.
Oh poor thing he fell off a bike.
I don’t like this as much as the next man but prosecuting people just because they made another man fall off a bike is just stupid, by that logic half the men in the world would have a record or be in jail.
Well if you’re going at quite the decent pace and hit a rock or a tree (both could be in a ditch) you can get hurt really badly or even die if it hits the wrong place

Good effort for one of the stupidest comments I’ve seen on car throttle.
Empty internet threats will not compensate for what they did. If this video was uploaded by ‘phillip’ on FACEBOOK, of all places, we can definitely find out more about this man. If we try hard enough, we could find enough information to get him convicted of assault and putting others in danger.
Send an email to Jalopnik
these guys deserved to be shot on sight
Thankfully the cyclist does not look hurt. Still a very immature, and potentially dangerous thing to do. Shame 🛎
I hope clarkson sees this
Thesre guys are true crusaders!
How is this baf?
Bad*
true
So stupid. The act itself is unbelievable, callous and idiotic but putting it on Facebook? Honestly it amazes me that people like that can actually feed and dress themselves let alone learn the skills necessary to pass a driving test.
