Growing up, I always called a headbutt a ‘Glasgow Kiss’, but it looks like the cyclists of London could stake their own claim to naming rights.

Police are on the lookout for a cyclist who dished out a pretty powerful headbutt to a businessman after the two had a brief altercation at a pedestrian crossing.

It really was brief, but it was clearly enough to make the enraged prawn see red.

Filmed at around 1:45PM on August 22, the cyclist can be seen running a red light on London’s Farringdon Street.

Over to the Guardian:

The 57-year-old man needed stitches to a wound above his eye, and suffered ligament damage to his arm.

PC Fisk, from the City of London police, said: “We are asking the public to help us identify this cyclist, whose needlessly violent action has left a member of the public with some nasty injuries.

“If anyone has any information about the man who carried out this assault, please contact us. He is described as a white man in his 40s, around 5ft 10in, of medium build, with short greying hair.”

We have more than a few readers over on Mud Island – any of you recognise this chap?

As they say in the movies, ‘fokken prawns’. For a country that is famous for its politeness and love of queuing, they still know how to rage.

If you do have info about the headbutter, you can call the City of London police (020 7601 2115), or call Crimestoppers anonymously on 0800 555 111.

Also, if possible, try not to fly into a rage at the slightest provocation. You’re better than that.
