Shocking moment cyclist tears through traffic with child clinging to back – before riding WRONG way through roundabout
THIS is the shocking moment a cyclist tears between traffic with a child clinging onto his back before going the wrong way through a roundabout.
Concerning footage shows the man riding in a cycle lane on Springfield Road, in west Belfast, with a youngster on his back.
The child, who doesn’t appear to be wearing a helmet or any protection padding, is riding piggyback style.
At one point the little one, donning a short sleeved red top and beige shorts, flings their legs out to the side – barely clinging on as they grip the man’s neck.
The rider then swerves across two lanes before failing to slow down as they approach a roundabout.
A worried driver, who captured the bizarre scenes, then films the cyclist travelling through the system in the wrong direction.
A car can be seen pulling up to the roundabout as the pair whizz around, luckily avoiding oncoming traffic.
The Police Service of Northern Ireland have since launched a probe into the incident.
The force have urged anyone with dashcam footage to come forward.
A spokesperson said: “We are aware of a video circulating social media of an adult and a child cycling in an unsafe manner in the Springfield Road area of the city.
“If anyone has any information, or any further dashcam footage please contact us on 101 quoting serial number CC2025052901396”.
This comes after the shocking moment a fishermen dad and his topless son scrap with officials was caught on camera.
The duo, who verbally and physically assaulted two officers, fists flying have been whacked with a hefty £12,000 court bill.
Anglers Sidney Bowman, 75, and a topless Andrew Bowman, 44, assaulted two Environment Agency officers who had asked for their names and addresses after they caught them fishing without a licence.
Despite being informed that they were on camera, Sidney poked an officer in the eye after his son hit his colleague in the face.
Elsewhere, the a “rude” dad was filmed parking his car on a stranger’s driveway to avoid school run chaos – before a furious mum confronted him.
Dion Joy says she thought a red Toyota was turning around outside her home in Tameside, Greater Manchester, but quickly realised the driver was planning to use her drive as a free parking space.
Footage shows the shameless man pull up onto her tarmacked driveway, get out, then spot 33-year-old Dion staring at him through her front window.
He immediately points towards the primary school three doors down but Dion calmly says “no, can you get off my drive please?”
The dad still attempts to convince the mum-of-three to let him stay by mentioning his daughter but his pleas fail to work as Dion explains her boyfriend is coming home to park there.
She firmly repeats her order to leave and tells the man “that’s so rude” before he gets back into the car and reverses off to park further down the street – where there were spaces free.
