This is the horrifying moment a driver ‘deliberately’ mowed down a man riding an electric bike near a children’s playground.

The blood curdling incident shows the motorist closely pursuing the cyclist before he ran him over.

The driver shamelessly filmed himself ploughing over the helpless rider, whilst driving over twice the speed limit on Alexander Street in Dundee last week.

In the short and terrifying clip, the e-bike rider can be seen travelling from the pavement then onto the road.

The motorist at the helm of the Renault speeds on the wrong side of the road towards the cyclist.

Following the incident near a playground in Dundee last week, a man was transported to Ninewells Hospital to be treated

Mere seconds later he thrusts into him at around 60 miles per hour, then the helpless rider falls underneath with the vehicle thudding over him.

The footage then flits to another person’s point of vue which shows the several police officers at the scene, which was sectioned off by authorities.

Ambulance crews alongside police attended the scene, where the one man was taken to Ninewells Hospital to be treated.
