Police investigating a collision involving the rider of an e-scooter and a child in Cheltenham yesterday (Monday 21 July) have released an image of a man they would like to identify in connection with the incident.
Police received a report that a five-year-old girl was walking along the Honeybourne Line with two adults at around 12.30pm when a man riding an e-scooter at speed collided with her.
She was knocked to the ground and sustained an injury to her head which required hospital treatment.
The collision also caused the rider to come off his scooter and after a brief exchange of words with the adults, he then left the scene in the direction of the train station without leaving his details.
A member of the public who heard the incident was able to take a photo of the man as he rode away.
A number of enquiries have been carried out since the incident and investigating officers are now appealing for the man pictured to come forward. They are also asking anyone who recognises him to contact police.
