The driver gets out of the van, takes his sunglasses off in a dramatic manner and takes the bike from the cyclist as he storms up the road to get his keys.

Furiously the pair begin to fight over the bike in a tug-of-war manner before the video clip ends and the driver looks like he returned to his vehicle.

The full nature of the altercation is unknown but the incident took place just off Leith Walk and stopped traffic from passing for some time.

The fight was caught on camera and shared to social media site TikTok and has now been viewed over 100,000 times.
