Footage depicting a shocking incident of road rage between two drivers in Shoreditch shows one of them appearing to get rammed by a BMW sports car.
The incident which was filmed in Curtain Road during broad daylight at 5pm on Thursday April 9 and then uploaded onto video-sharing website YouTube captures a disagreement between a shirtless man and a driver of a white BMW.
Both men can be heard swearing at each other as traffic builds up on both sides of the road and several passers-by step in attempting to diffuse the situation.
The man in the road picks up his shirt and puts it back and tries to hit the BMW driver through his window, but is pulled away.
He then returns to confront the driver who revs up his engine and appears to accelerate into the man and crashing into the side of a white Mercedes at a stand still in the other direction.
It is not clear what the men are arguing about.
A spokesman for Scotland Yard said they were called to the scene at 5pm.
