A mum-of-two was left in floods of tears after she was attacked on her moped on the way to the shops.

Headcam footage showed Rupal Patel screaming as a man, wearing a tracksuit, kicked out his leg as she rode by.

The video showed the man edge his way from the pavement onto the road as she approached.

Rupal’s husband, Nikul, said: “She was only on the way to the shops.

“Luckily, she wasn’t injured, but she was so upset she couldn’t carry on.

“I’m just sorry it was my wife on the moped and not me.”

Locals were furious at the random attack on Wednesday (5 Jun).

One said: “What the hell is wrong with some people, I hope the lady is okay.”

Another added: “What is actually wrong with some people?

“Well done to the man at the end who stopped and reassured her.”

And another said: “Wow, how disgusting.

“That poor woman.

“That could have been a totally different story.

“Thank god she is okay.

“What idiots, he could have caused so much harm, all for what? Showing off in front of mates.

“Vile.

“Sort your behaviour out before you kill someone and end up doing a stretch you deserve for behaviour like that.”
