Watch the shocking moment when a passenger in a moving car pushes a cyclist off his bike

The video uploaded by Eoin Maughan backfires as online community condemns the act

This is the moment when a passenger in a moving car pushes a cyclist off his bike. The perpetrator, seen in a blue-striped t-shirt, leans out of a car window and shoves the cyclist towards the bushes on the side of the road.

As the passenger prepares to push his victim, a male voice - allegedly the man filming the video - can be heard saying, “Alright boys, this is the new challenge here”.

After the man has been pushed off his bicycle, shrieks of laughter can be heard from the passengers.

Eoin Maughan uploaded the video to Facebook on Saturday. It had more than 750,000 views and 6,000 likes before the website removed the video.

Mr Maughan allegedly claims the video does not belong to him and that he was not involved in the incident.

This is how he reacted to the video being reported and removed.
