This is when a BMW driver pushed a motorcyclist off a bridge in a fit of anger and seriously injured him.
Police have released a video showing Nikesh Mistry, 34, pushing the motorcyclist onto the wrong side of the road as they were driving next to each other in Milton Keynes, Buckinghamshire.
He then pinned him between his silver BMW 320 and a metal bridge railing, while still on the wrong side of the road.
When the BMW hit another car, the motorcyclist was thrown over the bridge and landed in trees and bushes below.
The motorcyclist, a man in his 40s from Oxley Park in Milton Keynes, suffered serious injuries and was flown to Addenbrookes Hospital in Cambridgeshire.
Mistry also caused serious injuries to the front passenger of the car he collided head on with as it travelled in the opposite direction.
The passenger was taken by ambulance to Milton Keynes University Hospital after the incident on November 19, 2022.
Mistry and the motorcyclist had a non-verbal exchange before Mistry recklessly used his car to push the motorcyclist onto the wrong side of Brickhill Street.
Mistry was given a total of four years and ten months in prison last week after admitting to two counts of serious injury by dangerous driving.
He also admitted to causing serious bodily harm with intent during a hearing at Aylesbury Crown Court.
Mistry is now banned from driving for four years and ten months – and will have to retake an extended driving test before regaining his license.
Investigating officer PC Phil McGlue of the Roads Policing Unit, said: ‘This case is an extreme example of road rage. Mistry was not in any immediate danger and chose to respond in a manner that was so violent and so disproportionate that he turned road disagreement into a very serious assault.
‘Drivers who behave in such a manner will be thoroughly investigated and held accountable for their actions and Mistry will now serve a prison sentence as a result of those decisions.’
