Angry driver punches cyclist in face

Police are hunting for a motorist who punched a cyclist in the face in a road rage incident in Melbourne on Monday morning.

Different Road Rage Incident

Investigators have been told the 30-year-old cyclist was travelling north along St Kilda Road when he was nearly hit by a vehicle turning out of Albert Road about 7.20am.
The male driver of the vehicle, believed to be aged in his 40s, pulled over near a tram stop, approached the cyclist and an argument took place.
Police said the man then punched the cyclist on the chin and left the scene in his vehicle. He is described as Caucasian with a solid build, shaved head and grey facial hair. He was driving a white sedan, possibly a Suzuki.
