A cyclist who ran a little girl over in the street and left her badly bruised allegedly just checked his bike was OK before riding off.

Now Freya Thomas’ mum Carly is appealing for information about the rider, who didn't even check whether her four-year-old daughter was OK.

Police in North Wales have confirmed they are now investigating and have asked for help trying to track down the cyclist.

The incident happened on Rhyl promenade behind the back of the SeaQuarium on East Parade just after midday on Tuesday.

“I looked around to find my little girl on the floor tangled up in a bicycle with a man who was in his late 30s/early 40s.

“After checking his bike was all right, he picked it up and rode off, paying absolutely no attention to my distraught and injured daughter whatsoever.

“He didn’t even ask if she was okay. We were all dumbfounded.”

Carly added: “He was wearing all the cycling gear so he must be out on his bike a lot.

"I reported it to the police and they said they were looking at CCTV footage.

"This man should not be allowed to get away with this.

“I’m concerned that this could happen again, but next time the outcome could be very different.”
