A talent agent accused of trying to bulldoze a cycling vigilante out of the way using his car was cleared of dangerous driving today after a court heard he was 'surprised and intimidated' when the man 'jumped' onto his bonnet.
Paul Lyon-Maris, 60, was said to be angered when he found his route blocked by YouTuber Mike van Erp, 50.
The social media star, known as CyclingMikey, posts videos on his channel in which he catches out drivers including celebs like Chris Eubank and Guy Ritchie, The Mail reported. Agent-to-the-stars Lyon-Maris, who has represented the likes of Warwick Davis, Ian McKellen, and Alan Rickman, found the safety activist stood in the road with a head-mounted camera and using a selfie stick.
During a trip to a physio appointment on September 9 last year, Lyon-Maris had made an illegal right turn in order to avoid a traffic queue at the junction by London's Regent's Park dubbed Gandalf Corner.
