Car passenger slaps cyclist on the bum
A car passenger was caught on camera, slapping a cyclist on the bum on Anchorage Drive in Mindarie.
During the incident, caught on the cyclist's bike camera, the car the man was travelling in comes dangerously close to the cyclist.
Cycle.org.au posted the video online on Sunday labelling the man's actions "stupid and dangerous".
"This is stupid, dangerous and has caused major crashes. This passenger should be re-educated," the post read.Â
"We have no details yet. But we feel this is as close to a hit and run without injury, it is still a hit and run."
Social media users have called the man a "gutless wonder".
"Slap him with a $4,000 close pass fine and a hit and run," wrote one.Â
It's not the first time a cyclist has been smacked by a passenger.
In September 2014, several cyclists claimed a pair driving on a scooter in Perth's northern suburbs were smacking and pinching their bottoms.
One woman caught her incident on camera.
WA Police were unable to comment on the incident, as it is not clear when it occurred.Â
