Avon and Somerset Police are searching for a cyclist who snapped a motorist’s key in the ignition after an altercation on Worle High Street.

According to the Bristol Post, the cyclist approached the car and made abusive comments about the man’s driving.

He then went on to ride slowly in front of the car before getting off his bike near the Woodspring pub.

The cyclist then went back to the car and broke the key in the ignition and cycled away.

The cyclist was described as a white man, aged about 50, wearing an orange high-visibility jacket, shorts, a cycle helmet and black boots.
