A one-year-old girl was left with scratches on her face after she was hit and dragged along the ground by a cyclist who allegedly tried to flee the scene.
Freya Clancy, who is just 16 months old, was walking on a pedestrian path in Victoria Park, East London, when a cyclist travelling at “around 10mph hit her head on”.
Her arm then got caught in the spokes and the toddler was dragged along the ground until the cyclist slammed on her brakes at around 9am yesterday.
The girl’s stunned mum, Victoria Grant, told The Sun Online: “The cyclist came flying out of the gate and her front wheel hit my daughter in the face.
“It was awful. I was screaming and shouting ‘you have just run over my daughter’.”
Video footage taken at the scene shows the irate woman arguing with a local and Victoria claims she did not apologise or ask how her daughter was.
Footage also shows the woman speaking to an off-duty police officer in the park.
She told him: “The kid comes into the middle of my path, I don’t even see the kid.
“They’re all ganging up on me. The kid runs right in front of my path.”
Freya was then rushed to Royal London Hospital where she had an x-ray on her arm, but luckily nothing was broken.
Victoria, 33, has now been told to moisturise her face to prevent the scratches from leaving a scar.
The mum-of-three is now trying to track the cyclist down after she claims the woman wouldn’t pass on her details.

A Karen doing Karen stuff …
I bet if that guy wasn't persistent, not pestering, she would of got away.
deport her
What a disgusting and vile woman 🤮 her behaviour is absolutely appalling. And those two morons defending her have no morals. Poor baby, I hope she is doing alright.
I'm a commuter cyclist! THANK YOU for NOT leaving her alone. She's bang out of order!
Nice to expose the cow
i think the two guys helping the women should never have kids. And the black guy was swearing at him.
Why was the cyclist riding on the Path so fast? Why did she not give a hoot? I am a cyclist and i have been on the Path at times, but ride very slow. She i expect will Pull the race card.
I bet she is a Teacher.
You can feel that sense of entitlement and power teachers have as they tell everybody else what the law is.
Well done the guy for stopping her flight and staying calm.
Personally I'd have stopped poking her beehive as her guilty feelings were obs embarrassing her!!!
Yet another Karen bites the dust.
Thank you feminism. What cultured , privileged women you have created.
Emma Watson"s HE4SHE alive and well..in action.
Straight to the victim card she goes and the white knights come running. Absolutely pathetic. What an utter waste of oxygen!
"Her arm got caught in the spokes and the toddler was dragged along the ground until the cyclist slammed on her brakes"
I call "sus" on this story. If the kid's arm got caught in the spokes, the bike would NOT have been able to continue going as is alleged, at least not without the arm being cut off. That's just basic physics and geometry. Duh. 😒
I wonder what the toddler did to deserve it.
She is an absolute menace to children
He's harassing her
How did this happen? Where were the kid's parents?
Arrogant woman and bad judgement on behalf of the other men involved.
Typical ignorant enetitled cyclist.
I find it disturbingly funny HOW OFTEN perpetrators act like the victim…
Why did she cycle away from the scene then? No he will not go away he will expose your ass for not being able to cycle normally. You know how they say some people should not drive or cycle, well your one of them go away Karen type of person
Put her in prison
What a disgraceful woman. She was clearly fleeing the scene, knowing what she'd done. This explains her rage. Also threatening to sue the man is pathetic and very entitled behavior.
She didn't care tie her to a back of a car and drag her around see how she likes it
Cyclists in London genuinely believe themselves to be infallible.
Fkn heroes like this. If i was that women i would’ve just cycled away
What law is that tho that you call the police if you are on a bicycle? Cyclists are not motorists. If he wanted to call the police because she injured his child that's a different story.
What a vile woman
She hit a child and was clearly leaving the scene and she STILL manages the play the victim.
That man is a hero as she was clearly leaving the scene and said as much until she realised she was being filmed and would not get away with it.
The "Police officer" should be ashamed of himself. This is why no one trusts or respects the police anymore.
Parents cannot keep eyes on their child 24/7
Also awareness is alfa & omega when cycling. Plus if you get involved in this kind of accident then you should not pedal away but stay & swap insurance instead.
Because what is worse, being arrested and facing the music in court with the witnesses or just settling out of mind with insurance?
My god , she didn’t even apologise! She showed absolutely no regard for the little girl she injured. The father showed restraint as I would have knocked her out if it was my daughter she hit !

Vile creature
Do you know the woman on the bike is a Karen
The Karen gives other Karens a bad name.

What a b****! Instead of saying sorry…
Online seeing half the video. Did woman purposely harm the child?
Pathetic, that biker isn't even bothered. FFS
What is her name?
I'm a school bus driver. Cyclists ride through my stop arm all the time. One of my kids nearly got hit.
Things dont change my mum as a toddler was hit by a cyclist while in a park and ended up having stitches for a cut on her face and that was in 1929.
thank you for teaching her a lesson – lessons drive her nuts!!
Imagine accidentally hurting an infant and not immediately doing whatever it takes to make the situation right
Well done to the bike person for running over the kid
Typical cyclist..in a state of perpetual rage
I see no child…
