The minor collision appeared to enrage the cyclist, who got off his bike and proceeded to push and shout at the pedestrian.

The pedestrian backed away and put a hand on the cyclist’s arm in an apparent effort to calm him down.

However, he was rewarded with a tight slap to his right cheek, which caused him to stumble and his cap to drop onto the road.

The cyclist left after that, leaving the pedestrian rubbing his cheek and picking up his cap.

The pedestrian then continued crossing the road.
