AAPThe West Australian A man has been charged following a road-rage incident in which a cyclist was knocked from his bike, verbally abused and threatened by a driver in Sydney. The incident


received widespread attention after footage emerged which appears to show the driver of a Toyota Hilux shouting abuse and threats at the cyclist following a minor collision in Summer Hill on


Wednesday morning. “I’m Lebanese, I’m going to f*** you,” the driver says to the 23-year-old cyclist in footage shown on the Seven Network. The driver reportedly called the cyclist “Aussie


scum” and threatened to follow him. While the cyclist claimed that he feared for his life, the driver Milad Ayoub, said he was provoked. “He started driving in front of me really


slowly...holding his finger up,” Mr Ayoub told reporters. The 44-year-old driver was arrested on Thursday morning and charged with negligent driving as well as assault and intimidation. He


was granted conditional bail to appear at Burwood Local Court on September 25. GET THE LATEST NEWS FROM THEWEST.COM.AU IN YOUR INBOX. Sign up for our emails
