GEORGE TOWN: Police have urged those with information on a motorcyclist, who knocked into a woman at a pedestrian crossing here on Monday, to contact them immediately.

A 29-second video footage of the incident, believed to have happened outside a school in Sungai Nibong, has since gone viral today.

The video showed a woman, dressed in white, crossing the road before she was knocked down by the man on a motorcycle and thrown to the ground.

The motorcyclist stopped for a brief moment to check on her condition before speeding off.

The woman then got up by herself, put on her sandal and continued walking across the road.

According to the timestamp on the video, the accident occurred on Monday at 6.54pm.

This was not the first such incident had happened here.

On April 6, a 58-year-old woman, who was captured on camera being knocked down by a speeding motorcycle, succumbed to her injuries several hours after seeking treatment at the Penang Hospital.

The 1.20pm incident happened while Foo Swee Wah was crossing the busy Jalan Burma here.

A 12-second video footage released by police showed Foo walking along the zebra crossing.

Three seconds later, a motorcycle slammed into her, dropping a motorcycle helmet in the process.

Foo fell to the ground and a loud scream was subsequently heard. She was immediately rushed to the Penang Hospital for treatment. © New Straits Times Press (M) Bhd
