Car passenger flung to ground 'by motorcyclist in road rage hit-and-run attack'

A motorcyclist allegedly grabbed a car passenger and threw them to the ground in a fit of road rage captured on a dashcam.

The footage starts with the car chasing the bike, which is reported to have hit the vehicle before riding off. The driver then took chase through a neighbourhood in Southall, west London, including a journey round and round a junction.

The car then comes to a stop and a door is heard opening. Moments later, a man is seen flying into the back of a parked car, as the motorbike then rides away at speed.

The incident happened at 2.50pm on Saturday, October 5. The man was taken to hospital for treatment.
