THIS shocking footage shows the moment a cyclist hurtled into a pedestrian – before fleeing the scene carrying his mangled electric-powered bike.

The CCTV shows the woman, named locally as Cihan Sakine, 56, running into the road when the lights were green. She remains in hospital with life-threatening injuries.

The cyclist involved in the crash on Kingsland High Street in Dalston, east London, initially stopped after he was thrown from his electric bike but fled moments later.

In the CCTV footage, obtained exclusively by the Sun Online, he is seen walking away from the scene while clutching his damaged bicycle.

A bystander is seen pleading with the cyclist to stay but he ignores his protests and continues to walk down the street.

His mountain bike-style powered cycle, made by Specialized, was later found abandoned a mile away in Approach Close in Stoke Newington.

A worker at the Vape Shop, who witnessed the collision, told Sun Online: “The guy [on the bike] was holding his electric bike as he walked off because the front tyre was bent.

“People were shouting at him to wait and he was bleeding, he had a cut above his eye.

“He ran down the street then turned left by the cinema. People were shouting ‘wait, wait’ but he didn’t. People were mainly attending to the injured woman as she was bleeding a lot from the head.”

Another worker at the shop said: “The collision happened in the middle of the road. The guy who hit the woman was also bleeding. When people were attending to the lady, he went off with his chunky bicycle.”

Caleb Graba, 30, whose office is located next to the where the crash happened, said: “Two cyclists were trying to dodge her but one hit her at the crossing.

“My colleague went to the back of the office and got a towel so the lady could rest her head. She was bleeding from her mouth and was motionless.

“The guy who caused the accident was bleeding from the head, but instead of waiting for the police to come back, he ran off.”

The owner of Gemini Shoes, who wished to remain anonymous, told the Sun Online: “There was a big crowd afterwards and a police helicopter was out. They blocked the road off. The guy didn’t stop.

“I heard lots of noise outside and when I came out there was a big, big crowd, ambulance and police were there too. There was lots of commotion. She was motionless and paramedics were round her and they quickly put a sheet up round her.

“She was crossing the road at the lights and was in the middle of the road when she was hit.”

A friend of Ms Sakine, who did not want to be named, visited her at the Royal London Hospital in east London on Tuesday night.

The friend said: “We are all praying for Cihan but the doctors said she is in a bad way and we are all hoping she can pull through. She is very poorly and things do not look good at the moment.”

Electric-powered bikes do not require the driver to own a licence and have a legal power-assisted speed of up to 15.5mph, but are often pedalled at much higher speeds.

Scotland Yard said the man had been arrested at an address in Islington after he contacted police at about 11pm on Wednesday.

The 30-year-old was held on suspicion of causing bodily harm under Section 35 of the Offence Against Person Act, which covers incidents “injuring persons by furious driving.”

He was also arrested on suspicion of failing to stop and failing to report a collision.

On Thursday night, after the emergence of the CCTV showing the woman crossing the road when the lights were green, the man was released under investigation.

The crash on Tuesday evening follows a number of fatal collisions between cyclists and pedestrians in recent years.

Kim Briggs was killed in February 2016 after cyclist Charlie Alliston crashed into her as she crossed the road on her lunch break.

Alliston was acquitted of manslaughter in September last year but convicted of causing bodily harm “by wanton and furious driving” – an 1861 law relating to Victorian carriage driving.
