A man has been arrested on suspicion of attempted GBH after an altercation involving a cyclist and a driver in Crawley.

Officers were called to Horsham Road shortly before 4pm on Sunday, March 26, following reports a man threatened the occupants of a car with a bladed article before making off by bike.

The Honda vehicle then mounted the pavement at speed and crashed into the cyclist.

The rider was seen picking up the blade and running off, although it is not yet known if he was injured.

A 32-year-old suspect has been questioned and bailed until June.

Police are urging anyone with any information or footage to report it online or by calling 101, quoting serious 770 or 26/03.
