A motorcyclist is recovering in hospital after he was deliberately rammed into by another driver.

The silver Ford Fiesta struck the motorbike from behind before driving off on the southbound carriageway of the A406 North Circular at Redbridge Roundabout.

Detectives say the car was being driven “erratically” and are seeking to identify the person behind the wheel.

The motorcyclist, 20, was taken to hospital in the crash which happened at 6.30pm on Tuesday.

His condition is said to be non-life threatening.

PC Martin Bly, from the roads and transport policing command, said: “Our initial investigation suggests that the car was being driven erratically and then appeared to strike the motorcycle deliberately.

“I would ask anyone who was in the area and saw this incident, or recorded the events leading up to the collision on dashcam footage, to contact police immediately.”

No arrests have been made and police enquiries are continuing.
