A pedestrian has been injured in a hit-and-run collision with an e-bike in a town’s high street.
CCTV footage from The Star Coffee & Ale House, on the junction of Star Street and High Street in Ryde, captured the moment a woman was hit by an e-bike being ridden by two men.
Hampshire and Isle of Wight Constabulary said they were called to the scene at about 20:20 GMT on Sunday.
Coffee house owner Rob Lyttleton said there was “no excuse” for the riders to go “at that speed in those conditions”.
He said he had heard a loud noise from his office.
“I did look out and notice a lad running off with a bike down Star Street
“After glancing at my CCTV it was then apparent that there had been an accident.
“There was a man looking after the girl and taking her into the Loys takeaway.”
Mr Lyttleton said the road was “full of potholes” and the pedestrian had been “trying to avoid the puddles as it was raining”.
“No excuse for the lads to tag team a bike that was motorised at that speed in these conditions,” he added.
“The road is fully pedestrianised from 10am until 6am, she was not expecting a vehicle at such speed to hit her in this area.”
Hampshire police said the pedestrian had suffered “minor injuries”.
“The males on the e-bike did not stop at the scene,” the force confirmed and appealed to anyone with information about the incident to get in touch.
