The moment a cyclist was hit by a car before his bike was dragged 100 meters away has been captured on a dashcam.

Police were called to Pakenham, in Melbourne, at 6.40am on Thursday after receiving reports that a cyclist had been injured in an apparent collision.

The 59-year-old man from Pakenham was driving on Douglas St when a white 2008-2017 Mitsubishi Lancer passed by.

A police spokesman said the car came to a stop, allowing the cyclist to pass before the driver appeared to accelerate toward the rider, slightly ascending the curb and then struck the cyclist.

The cyclist fell off the road and ended up on the road with bruises and abrasions, while the car dragged his bike more than 100 meters.
