SHOCKING video has emerged of a man riding a motorbike with a young girl wearing only a cheap bicycle helmet clinging to his t-shirt.

The video already has 8000 views on YouTube where parents have expressed disgust that a man would drive so recklessly with a small child on the back.

The incident took place in Edenvale, South Africa.

Chairperson for the Edenvale Community Police Forum (ECPF), Mrs Linda McKenzie, told the Bedfordview-Edenvale News that the man’s registration as well as the video clip had been handed over to the Ekurhuleni Metropolitan Police Department (EMPD) for immediate action to be taken.

"We as the ECPF speak out in the strongest terms possible against this type of endangerment of our young children, the devastating consequences were not even considered when this man put that young girl on the back of his bike and drove the way he did," she said.
