An irate cyclist beat a driver with a bike lock and smashed up his car in Williamsburg on Monday, according to a police report.

The two were arguing on McGuiness Boulevard, between Meeker Avenue and Bayard Street, at around 7:45 pm, when the pissed-off pedal pusher broke the side-view mirror on the driver’s 2014 Toyota Prius with his lock, cops said.

The rampaging rider then opened the door, and repeatedly bashed the 59-year-old motorist in the face with the fastening device, cutting his head and hand, police said.

The cyclist sped off, and paramedics took the driver to Bellevue Hospital for treatment, authorities reported.

Police say the suspect is around 22 to 35 years old, 5-foot-11 and around 170 pounds. He was last seen shirtless and wearing dark pants.

Police ask anyone with information about the incident to call (800) 577–8477, submit tips at www.nypdcrimestoppers.com, or text 274637 followed by TIP577. All calls are strictly confidential
