Gardaí said they are inquiring into an early-morning road traffic incident between a car and a cyclist in Dublin.
The incident happened in the early hours of Thursday morning, when a taxi hit a cyclist at around 6am on the North Strand Road.
Footage of the incident was captured by the cyclist and subsequently shared on social media.
In the video which appears to have been taken by the cyclist, a silver taxi is seen travelling close to the cyclist and stopping in front of him.
