But the cyclist was seemingly not content with the choice of words from the delivery driver, who then jumped out of the vehicle and threw his delivery scanner towards the cyclist. The bike-riding member of the public then took a few swings at the delivery driver. The cyclist landed a punch on the delivery driver who quickly grabbed his scanner and fled back to his van.

Codey Lamos, who captured the fight between the two men, says a punch to the postman's side mirror was what sparked the violent altercation, but that the postie was the one at fault for starting the incident in the first place, reported. He revealed: "I heard old mate [the cyclist] saying he had been cut off and something had been thrown at his face. Then [the cyclist] followed the postman into the complex and that's what I captured."

Those who viewed the footage on social media were split as to who was in the right with this altercation, as one user slammed "self-entitled cyclists." They fumed: "So over self-entitled cyclists. They are a hazard on the roads. If they want to take on the cars, gonna come off second best. Stick with bicycle tracks etc. Stay off the roads." Another sided with the postie, adding: "Poor postie. Just trying to do his job!"

But some came to the defence of the cyclist and suggested he was right to react as he did, with one user commenting: "I'll put $100 on it the van driver initially cut off the cyclist. Cyclist has had enough of this happening and snapped instead of letting it go." Another wrote: "The driver's more than likely nearly taken him out."

Queensland Police said they were unaware of the incident while Post has confirmed an investigation into the incident is underway. Their statement read: "As the footage only shows part of the incident, Australia Post will conduct a full investigation into the matter. However, the behaviour shown in the video is not what Australia Post expects of its people."
