The driver later told the cyclist punched her stationary vehicle three times before she got out to confront him.
The heated row quickly spiralled into out-and-out violence.
Police say the suspect fled before officers arrived at around 5.10pm.
Firefighters from Leca do Balio treated the driver at the scene after she suffered minor injuries.
She was later taken to hospital for further examination.
The victim has since filed a complaint with the Public Security Police, who are now trying to identify the cyclist.
Footage of the terrifying incident quickly spread across , with users sharing appeals to help track down the attacker.
This is not the first time a cyclist has lost their rag at a fellow road user.
In 2024, dramatic footage captured the moment during a heated road rage clash.
The video shows two cyclists riding along a busy road in surrounded by traffic.
One rider speeds past the person filming just as a car ahead begins pulling into the same lane.
But with almost no warning, the motorist suddenly turns off the road directly into the cyclist’s path.
Caught completely off guard, the rider slams on the brakes, sending the bike skidding across the tarmac.
The cyclist is then thrown from the saddle and slides along the road before ploughing headfirst into the side of the car.
Rather than being left shaken by the crash, the furious rider immediately jumps back to his feet and storms towards the vehicle.
He lashes out by kicking the rear passenger door before punching the driver’s side window in anger.
Footage of the incident quickly went viral on social media.
One wrote: “Typical of a driver who doesn’t think the bike is going fast.
“It is disdain for the cyclist.”
