This is the moment a Porsche driver runs over a bike after cyclists blocked their path.

The large group was on a ''ride out'' - an activity usually aimed at disrupting and blocking the road - on Wednesday evening at Elephant and Castle roundabout, south London.

Footage, taken by an onlooker, shows the motorist beeping in frustration while behind the wheel of the grey £67,000 Porsche Cayenne SUV.

The driver then lost their patience and drove towards the group.

Some of the group of cyclists quickly moved themselves out of the way, while another got off and held his arm out to try and stop the car.

However, the driver refused to slow down and crushed his bike as it plunged through the crowd.

The distressed cyclists then shouted at the driver as they drove away. Another cyclist, wearing a helmet, was clipped by the side of the car as it sped away.

The riders then pursued the Porsche as a whole group before the end of the 48-second clip.

The City of London Police has been approached for comment.
