The Los Angeles Police Department is investigating a confrontation between the driver of a Mercedez-Benz and a group of cyclists in Los Angeles that was posted on social media over the weekend. The video, posted to Instagram on Sunday, shows the driver accelerating through the crowd of cyclists on Olympic Boulevard, narrowly missing them and at one point driving into oncoming traffic to go around them.
'We’re aware of the video, but detectives are investigating exactly what occurred,' Cervantes said. 'There shouldn’t be that many bicycles on the road blocking traffic, so that would be unsafe, but I don’t know exactly what transpired.' Officers got another call at 1:34 p.m. reporting vandalism to a vehicle at Wilshire Boulevard and La Brea Avenue, Cervantes said. The driver said that he was assaulted by multiple cyclists and that his vehicle was vandalized.
