A family had their day out ruined after an 'abusive' cyclist spat on a car window and punched a wing mirror.

Hayley Brennan was heading to Liverpool for a family day out when she saw a cyclist attack an elderly lady in her car. She said he 'punched and spat at her window' in the 'upsetting' incident, the Liverpool Echo reports.

The mum-of-two said the incident happened next to the Coach and Horses pub on Liverpool Road in Maghull.
