A woman has offered up a reward to find the cyclist who she claims knocked her over before cycling off.

Andrea McVeigh, 44, says the collision left her in the hospital, and is offering £2,000 for any information leading to the cyclists arrest.

She claims she was walking along the pavement when a cyclist, trying to beat the traffic, hit into her side at speed.

‘Blood was pouring from a gash in my forehead and my finger was bent at a right angle,’ said Andrea.


While people were helping her stem the blood the cyclist allegedly told Andrea’s husband Patrick that he was going to lock his bike up, before taking off.

The incident, which occurred in April near Bermondsey, London, will now be recreated for a segment on Crimewatch Roadshow on the BBC, after police released the CCTV footage of the incident and no one came forward to identify the cyclist.

Andrea said: ‘As a cancer survivor, this has been the second time I’ve had to face my own mortality at a young age and I’m angry this this time, it was at the hands of a callous and selfish cyclist.

‘I’m disgusted that the cyclist hasn’t yet come forward nor has he been identified.’

Andrea, who moved to London from Belfast two years ago, says she now has a very visible scar on her forehead – a permanent reminder of what happened.

‘I feel like I’m still waiting for an apology,’ she said.
