A dog walker at the centre of a viral incident involving a cyclist has finally spoken out after being accused of pushing the rider into a canal. The altercation, which was caught on camera, has sparked widespread debate over road safety and pedestrian rights.
The Incident That Shocked the Public
According to eyewitnesses, the cyclist was speeding along a towpath when the confrontation occurred. The dog walker claims they acted in self-defence after feeling threatened by the cyclist's aggressive behaviour.
Eyewitness Accounts
Several bystanders reported seeing the cyclist shouting at the dog walker before the alleged push. One witness stated, 'It all happened so fast. The cyclist was going way too fast for a shared path.'
The Aftermath
Local authorities are investigating the incident, and both parties are expected to give statements. The cyclist sustained minor injuries but refused medical treatment at the scene.
This case highlights the ongoing tension between cyclists and pedestrians on Britain's increasingly crowded towpaths and shared spaces.
