Cyclistpunch A group of Toronto high school students on a field trip captured footage of an auto driver attacking a bicyclist who reportedly stopped in front of him at a yellow light. The interesting thing is that the students were out with videocameras investigating the notion of "public and private space" in their city. Toronto CityNews has the video online.

UPDATE: Unrelated to the reasons I found the story interesting, but worth an update anyway, is the news that the driver who "allegedly" assaulted the bike rider is a cop. He turned himself in. Link (Thanks, Golan Klinger!)
