Cyclist Pushed Into Water For ‘Not Slowing Down’ When Approaching Dog Walker In Shocking Footage
A cyclist was left fearing for her life after clashing with dog walkers in shocking footage.
Klaudia Mitura, 34, has been left ‘traumatized’ after she was pushed into a canal by dog walkers who claimed she was cycling too fast.
On July 19, the cyclist was on her usual morning commute when she faced a rather unlikely situation.
Footage shows Klaudia slowing down as she approached a couple walking their dog along a canal, but she could never have predicted what came next.
The man ordered her to ‘slow down’ as she neared them, to which the 34-year-old can be heard protesting that they have a dog.
Angrily, the unknown man replied: “Yeah, but you’re on a f***ing bike.”
He then called her ‘a f***ing idiot’ before shockingly pushing her in the water.
Klaudia, who cannot swim, said her feet were strapped to the pedals of the bike, making it hard for her to break free.
The woman was left fearing for her life as she questioned whether she may ‘drown.’
Meanwhile, the couple walked on, without turning around the check if she was okay.
The mom-of-two remained struggling in the canal for a further five minutes, before a good Samaritan helped her back to the path.
As her phone was water-damaged from the canal, the onlooker helped her to ring the police.
Klaudia, who lives in Manchester, UK, said: “I was very scared because I can’t swim, I stood on a stone.
“I thought I would drown.”
She added: “I don’t know what I would do if no one had walked past me.
“They didn’t look back to see if I’m okay or if I was drowning.”
After posting the footage on TikTok, the clip has now been viewed over half a million times, and has divided opinion.
She added: “It’s good I had the camera because the police can find him.
“I haven’t cycled since, I don’t know when I will do it again.”
Greater Manchester Police confirmed they were investigating the incident, but that no arrests have been made.
The mom said: “I need help with my mental health. I’m on my own with that, I’m traumatised. It’s the first time anything like this has happened.
“Cycling was my main means of transport. I’m physically okay, but mentally it’s really bad.
“I need to be strong because I have two kids so I can’t show them that something is wrong with me.”
Commenters rushed to share their thoughts.
One said: “The cyclist stopped. There was room for both. No need for an assault. And that is what it was. Assault.”
But another said: “Cyclists don’t have priority over people walking.
“Yet then expect everyone to move out their way.”
A third said: “Shared path with people having right of way, but that’s assault.”
