This isn't about cyclists or even road rage. Dude is a full-blown moron and should at the very least spend a weekend in lockup. But that is woefully unlikely. I mean, if he even has to pay a fine it will be a miracle (cyclists don't legally appear to be human) so here we are.
Odds are pretty good that the phone slapping produced a pretty nasty-looking video, so I would guess it's pretty likely he'll get a misdemeanor assault conviction, fine or jail depending on his priors.

If there's video of him approaching the cyclist with a hammer, he's in a lot of trouble.
