A cyclist accused of spitting at a father and son travelling in a vehicle on Dallas Road has turned himself in, Victoria police say.

Police said they received a report from a motorist on April 19 that a cyclist on a road bike on Dallas had spat at him and his father through an open passenger window while they were at a three-way intersection near Cook Street.

“The spit struck the father in the face and the cyclist continued down Cook Street and out of view of the driver,” police said.

It is unknown what provoked the assault, VicPD said.

The suspect is described as a 50-year-old white male with a medium build and grey hair.

On Monday, police released a photo of the suspect riding a black Cervélo road bike and wearing black cycling shorts.

VicPD said the suspect surrendered himself to police on Tuesday morning.
