The man was identified as San Francisco resident Ian Hespelt, 39.
Officers detained the suspect and based on evidence booked him on felony offenses of false imprisonment, assault with a deadly weapon, vandalism and maliciously and willfully throwing a substance at a vehicle, police said.
Officers also booked Hespelt for a misdemeanor offense of inciting a riot, according to police.
The video of the incident shows bicyclists cross Marina Boulevard into oncoming traffic directly into the path of a dark blue vehicle. The vehicle is then forced to stop as the cyclist blocks the path using his bicycle. As the vehicle attempts to leave the area, the cyclist uses a U-Lock to strike the vehicle several times, causing approximately $2,000 worth of damage.
Although an arrest has been made, anyone with additional information or video is encouraged to contact the SFPD Anonymous Tip Line at (415) 575-4444.
