The terrible thing about most news nowadays, is that "it may be real" is nearly always a valid response. |

The cyclists had noticed that the VW driver was about to pull out of the parking space and stopped next to the drivers window. However, the driver didn't see the cyclist and almost pushed over the bicycle and the rider. I would blame the driver for not looking out his side window before entering traffic. The cyclist was not doing a very good job of trying to break the car window. It looked like he was trying to cut the window with the knife. You would have done better if he just hit the window with the knife pommel. Or, he could have used the knife to slash the tires or break the plastic light lenses. The switch to "wide angle" as the attack progressed was because the video was from the rear view of a dashboard camera. The driver of the camera car was probably watching on a small LCD monitor and pulled away either to get a wider angle view, or to get the hell away before things become more violent.

Come on, this did not start with a traffic mishap, at least not one within the video. Rerun the video to observe more carefully: The right lane doses not look like parking space, but like traffic stuck behind the bus on the right side. And the Polo's driver would not, without some "good" reason, suddenly pull out in front of opposing traffic and even try to squeeze through. Noting the behavior of the two approaching pedestrians who do not get attacked, this DM commenter might have put the pieces together correctly: "Artless Dodger, Galway, Ireland, 1 day ago This was not road rage, This was an attempted attack, The Cyclist pulled up next to the car knowing who was in it. The driver saw the guy and realised it was an attack and tried to escape. Once things got going, the two lads who were hanging back egging on their cyclist machete wielder wanted to witness it. Nothing to do with road rage, This guy was targeting the driver. Wait and see,. Gang related." The cyclist was not doing a very good job of trying to break the car window. It looked like he was trying to cut the window with the knife. You would have done better if he just hit the window with the knife pommel. He did, look at DM's still. Himself clearly not the sharpest tool in the shed, the cyclist might not have maintained the pommel's edges well enough to break glass with little effort. Or, he could have used the knife to slash the tires or break the plastic light lenses. He's not interested in causing material damage to the car: In the end, he can be seeing running (after the driver).

I didn't see any drivers in the line of cars on right side of the photo, so I assumed that they were parked. Noting the behavior of the two approaching pedestrians who do not get attacked, this DM commenter might have put the pieces together correctly: There may be more to the pedestrians. Go to the very last frame (0:43) in the Daily Mail video at: http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-5794357/Terrifying-moment-cyclist-armed-huge-zombie-knife-tries-smash-motorists-window.html It's difficult to see, but it looks like one of the pedestrians has a knife. "Artless Dodger, Galway, Ireland, 1 day ago I couldn't find this on the Daily Mail site. URL? This was not road rage, This was an attempted attack, The Cyclist pulled up next to the car knowing who was in it. The driver saw the guy and realised it was an attack and tried to escape. Once things got going, the two lads who were hanging back egging on their cyclist machete wielder wanted to witness it. Nothing to do with road rage, This guy was targeting the driver. Wait and see,.

It looked like he was trying to cut the window with the knife. You would have done better if he just hit the window with the knife pommel. He did, look at DM's still. Himself clearly not the sharpest tool in the shed, the cyclist might not have maintained the pommel's edges well enough to break glass with little effort. I looked at all the stills and ran the video again. One of the still photos suggest that me might be trying to hit the window with the pommel, but all the subsequent attempts were made with the blade. One still shows the pommel as having what looks like an eye hook, which is quite unsuitable for breaking a car window.
