Not sure if it's correct or descriptive to use the term 'delivery driver' to refer to someone on a bike. Headline here makes it sound like the delivery, er, person was in a car :?

Anyway, at least three windows put through by the looks of the photo :-|

Wonder what caused this? No doubt some sort of road rage incident that got out of hand...

A police investigation is underway after a delivery driver 'attacked a black cab driver inside his vehicle' in Central London. The attack took place at around 5.30pm on Friday, November 18, and left the taxi's windscreen smashed to pieces.

According to a witness at the scene of the attack, the delivery driver, who was on a bike, 'smashed the taxi's windows with a belt and buckle before attacking the cabbie', who did not receive hospital treatment.

The witness told MyLondon: "[It] happened tonight at the bottom end of Park Lane by a food delivery cyclist. [He] smashed all windows with a belt and buckle and attacked the cabbie with it as well...We need to find [the] attacker."

A spokesperson for the Met Police told MyLondon: "Police are investigating an allegation of assault which was reported to have occurred at the junction of Hyde Park Corner and Park Lane at around 5.30pm on Friday, November 18.

"A man aged in his 40s, who was driving a taxi, was reportedly assaulted by a cyclist who also caused damage to his vehicle. The man did not require hospital treatment.

"The incident was reported to police the following day and enquiries are ongoing to establish the circumstances. There have been no arrests."

so presumably somewhere on park lane they had a little close encounter and the delivery rider went all raging bull

I suspect there will be a lot of CCTV cameras with footage of the two vehicles so if the police can be bothered an easy one to solve
