Video shows lycra-clad cyclist beating Brisbane bus driver in his seat
Queensland Police are searching for a cyclist who jumped onto a Brisbane bus and beat the driver in an attack caught on video.
The security vision recorded at 7.40am on November 21 shows the cyclist in red lycra stopping in front of the bus as it pulled up at a stop in the middle of the city.
Aggrieved with the bus driver, the cyclist hopped off his bike on Adelaide Street and onto the bus as it was stopped between Creek Street and Faber Lane.
The rider, described as being in his 50s, began a verbal exchange with driver before things turned physical.
First the cyclist used one of his riding-gloved hands to slap the bus driver, aged in his 60s, across the face.
Then the cyclist charged the driver in his seat and punched him several times during the tussle, police said in a statement.
The driver was left with a number of facial injuries, police said.
The cyclist then exited the bus and took off on his bicycle down Adelaide Street.
He is described as being aged in his 50s, approximately 175-180 centimetres tall, with grey hair and an athletic build.
Anyone with information is encouraged to call Crime Stoppers 1800 333 000 or use the Crime Stoppers online reporting page.
