The cyclist looks like he’s wearing aĀ woolly hat but no helmet and smacks into the passenger door of the Toyota.

The publication reports that the carĀ was allegedly being driven by a uniformed police officer.

A man by the name ofĀ Joey Boland captured the footage on his dashcam on Friday as he was sitting outside the Sundrive Garda Station in Dublin.

According to Joey, the car was being driven by a Garda who called for an ambulance after he took the cyclist into the station.Ā 

In a statement on the matter issued to theĀ Irish Mirror, GardaĆ­Ā state that: “GardaĆ­ in Sundrive Road are investigating a collision between a cyclist and a car that occurred on February 16, 2018 at approximately 3.04pm.

“A male in his 30s was treated at the scene. We can confirm that the car was not an unmarked Garda vehicle.”

The spokesman declined to comment on whether the vehicle was being driven by a Garda.
