Police officer in bizarre row with cyclist for not using superhighway

An bizarre argument between a police officer and a cyclist who was not riding in a nearby cycle superhighway because it was busy has been caught on video.

The footage appears to have been filmed in Kennington Park Road at around 10am yesterday morning.

It was published on YouTube by a cycling instructor, who was stopped by the angry officer.

The cyclist insists he did not suddenly pull out of the cycle lane and was trying to avoid other bike-riders already using it.

A Met police spokesperson told ITV London: "The officer lawfully stopped the cyclist for what he deemed to be a risky manoeuvre and gave words of advice on riding safely."
