Default One punch Uber driver knocks out disabled cyclist

A wheelchair bicycle? I thought it would be Doug, but no.

The cyclist, 27, was allegedly attacked after he got into an argument
with the driver of a silver Toyota Prius who was attempting to overtake
him along a narrow street in Holborn on Thursday afternoon.
Witnesses said the cyclist, who was riding a wheelchair cycle, became
jammed between a parked car and the Toyota Prius but managed to force
himself free during the incident in Endell Street.
The motorist, who is believed to be a minicab driver, allegedly got out
of the car and punched the cyclist in the face after he banged his hand
onto the bonnet in frustration.

Reckless Driving.
Criminal Damage
Assault with a Deadly Weapon.
Attempted Murder.
Assault causing Actual Bodily Harm.

This 'driver' should be facing decades in prison, if there is any justice.

I'm sure we all remember Doug with a certain amount of fondness and respect.

I hope he's still "with us".
