The incident took place at the T intersection between A avenue and B road, at approximately 18:30 p.m, Today. My wife was driving our car with a baby inside, from Ridgeway Avenue approaching the intersection. I was not in the car, I was following her at the back riding my scooter. She was signalling to turn right towards B road and the front of the car crossed the intersection line marginally on the B road
While waiting for the traffic to clear, a cyclist, coming from B road aggressively approached the car, he hit the hood of the car repeatedly at the driver side and swore loudly "Get f**k off the road". Instinctively, I rode to his side and told him "You don't need to hit the car, that is my car and my wife inside and there is plenty space that you can pass through". He replied, "she is f***ing blocking the road" and after exchanging few words he hit me on my helmet which caused me to lose balanced (I was still on my scooter while talking to him) and toppled over him on the pedestrian sidewalk. Both our bike and scooter were lying near the sidewalk. While he was on the sidewalk and tried to get up, I approached him and punched his face. Afterwards, there were few arguments and he walked to the car, took note of the car registration number, said " You are f****d" and cycled away.
There were two elderly ladies who seemed to witness the incident. One of the ladies said, "No, you can't hit him although he hit your car". She took pictures of my scooter using her mobile. We left the scene after I picked up my fallen scooter.
