Police seek cyclist involved in collision with child
Dunedin police are seeking information regarding a cyclist involved in an incident where a child was injured. Yesterday the victim, a three-year-old boy, was playing in Marlow Park (commonly known as the dinosaur park), located on John Wilson Ocean Drive.
The boy left the park at about 1:50pm with his aunt and was standing on the footpath near the toilet block when he was involved in a collision with a bicycle. The boy sustained a broken leg and bruising to his body and head.
The rider failed to stop and did not provide his details. He is caucasian, 30-40 years old, with a slim build. He is about 170cm-175cm tall, with a grey/white beard and was wearing orange/yellow top, orange/brown shorts and white shoes. He was on a red/orange mountain bike.
The rider had come from the Victoria Road direction and after the collision rode up John Wilson Ocean Drive. Police would like to speak to the man involved or anyone who saw him around 1:50pm on 3 October. They are urged to contact Acting Sergeant Steven Wykes at Dunedin Central police on 03 471 4800, or anonymously through Crimestoppers on 0800 555 111.
