I was just rolling up to the ASL at the Notting Hill Gate junction, heading east, when a fight broke out between a cyclist and some car drivers.
I had heard some honking and had seen a cyclist swerve as I was coming up to the junction but as I got there, two guys had got out of the car that swerved and were going for the cyclist. The cyclist pushed one of them away and into another car, at which point that car drive came out and went for the cyclist. I stepped in to pull them apart and luckily for me a massive South African guy stepped in as well to pull them apart.
The police aren't taking any action against either party as although the car drivers started it, the cyclist pushed back.
Unfortunately, one of the car drivers then started holding his lower back (really poor acting but injurylawyers4u will lap it up) and I think they're going to try to take the cyclist through civil proceedings. I had enough time to get everyone's details and pictures of the bike / car etc as well as locations of CCTV so hopefully they will show the full story.
What annoyed me most (other than the obvious behaviour of the car drivers) was the fact that apart from myself and the Saffa, everyone else who witnessed it just walked, drove or cycled away.
TL;DR - Punch up between cyclist and motorists.
