It is thought the man had crossed the road at the same time as the cyclist.
The victim suffered pain and bleeding from his nose but it is not thought he received any serious injuries.
Police says the incident happened at around 8.40am on Tuesday, January 22 and any witnesses should call them on 101.

“I would say its far from 'fairly typical' actually Professional (ha that's an oxymoron John)
The vast majority of average cyclists are not arrogant and are law abiding, certinatly less inclined to 'road rage' than those road users that feel safe and protected inside a large metal box
Coralsea, given the article suggests an incident happened when the person was on a zebra crossing its probably fair to say the cyclist was not on the pavement at the time, although this does not excuse his actions”
