Police in Victoria say a cyclist who allegedly spat into the open window of a passing car last month has surrendered at police headquarters.

The investigation into the incident began when the Victoria Police Department received a report from a man who was driving along Dallas Road with his father around 4:30 p.m. on April 19.

"A cyclist spat at both of them through an open passenger window while at a three-way intersection near Cook Street. The spit struck the father in the face and the cyclist continued down Cook Street and out of view of the driver," VicPD said in a news release Tuesday seeking to identify the driver.

The suspect turned himself in to police on Wednesday morning, the department said in a statement.

"It is unknown at this time what provoked the assault," the statement added.
