Parked car on left, me parallel, driver in car overtaking me cut me off after having given space. I believe this was intentional, there was no reason for the movement he made... it is not near a junction, there was no oncoming vehicle, there was no need to move sidewards and cut me off.
He cut across my space, squeezing me against the front of the parked car. I went down on my right side, he did impact my body and bike quite hard. I ultimately fell into the space just behind his car as he was still moving forward.
This was heading West.
Whilst I was down I looked up to try and catch the number but failed, he'd slowed momentarily but had moved off again and was turning down the street in front, a left turn. Could only make out that it was a small hatchback, dark in colour, the most vivid memory is of the wing mirror.

Currently in A&E at St Thomas's hospital.
My bike has collected by Salman and returned to the office where we both work.
It was a hit and run. Dark hatchback swiped me off against the corner of a parked car at roughly 105 Stamford Street, Westbound, opposite Coin Street Community Centre, equidistant between Coin St and Cornwall Road.
The driver drove off after slowing for a moment, turned left on to Cornwall Road probably to avoid the stationary traffic queue leading to the IMAX roundabout.
I have damage on my right leg, internal bleeding below the right knee, lots of blood from the right knee and major swelling. Possible break in the lower right leg. Numerous scrapes and scratches down the right side. Hip hurts.
No concussion. No head impact.
Police not yet contacted by myself, but ambulance staff notified them and said they will intercept here at the hospital.
I have a witness and his contact details.
I'm quite shaken. Weird experience. Sat on the ambulance stretcher waiting to be checked in.
