Queensland tradie caught on video trying to knock over cyclist

A Queensland tradie was caught leaning out of a moving car and attempting to knock over a cyclist.

Unbeknownst to the tradie, the cyclist was wearing a camera on their helmet and caught the man approaching in a ute and leaning out the window.

He stretched his hands out towards the cyclist, but missed and the footage has since been provided to police.

The incident took place around 6PM on Burpengary Road, Narangba , near Brisbane. Police released the footage on Wednesday in an attempt to find the man.

"Had the bike rider fallen he would of sustained serious injury," Senior Constable Jo Arthur said.

Police say they want to talk to the man in regards to the incident and anyone able to assist should call the Bribie Island Police station.
