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.
