The incident happened along Old Airport Road on 24 February at about 9.21pm, at a pedestrian zebra crossing.

The cyclist was seen in the video trying to cross the zebra pedestrian crossing, just as the taxi was approaching.

Under the traffic rules, the cyclist had the right of way to cross the crossing and the taxi was supposed to give way.

However, the taxi failed to stop and hit the cyclist, causing the man to almost fall off his bike, and the taxi then drove away.
