Wild video you have to see. A driver was caught on camera intentionally sideswiping a motorcyclist, causing him to crash.

Colorado Springs police said the collision happened late Monday night on the 5800 block of North Nevada.

Police said video of the incident, later posted to YouTube, helped them solve the case. You can watch the full video here.

Only 11 News talked to the motorcyclist, Skyler Bradley. He’s recovering with road rash and said he learned a valuable lesson.

Bradley told 11 News he knows he’s lucky to walk away from the out-of-control road rage moment.

"It's scary, it's scary to think people would do that," Bradley said.

In the video, police say you can see the two motorists, Bradley and Brian Candelaria, get in some sort of altercation before Candelaria swerves his car into the motorcycle. A witness kept his camera rolling during the episode.

Bradley said he wanted to talk to Candelaria. Before the witness’ camera caught the incident, Bradley said Candelaria was driving aggressively, cut off his girlfriend’s car, and nearly hit him.

Investigators said Bradley was antagonizing the driver in the car, so they ticketed him with harassment, a misdemeanor.

"That’s completely irresponsible of me, like, I definitely learned a lesson. I will never, I ain’t yelling at nobody ever again, that's a lesson learned for sure," Bradley said.

Investigators said Candelaria reacted intentionally and maliciously when he sideswiped Bradley, knocked him down and drove away.

Candelaria was arrested and charged with second-degree assault. A felony for the bump and run that could have been deadly.

"It’s like potentially somebody's life, good thing we were only going 30 miles per hour; if we were on the highway it could have been much worse," Bradley said.

Springs police said this is the first time social media or a YouTube clip helped solve a traffic investigation, but added -- it likely won’t be the last.

Police said drivers should never take matters into their own hands; always call 911 immediately.
