Motorcyclist knocks down student & takes off
As seen in the clip, it showed a security guard accompanying two female students who were waiting to cross the road outside Sekolah Kebangsaan Permatang Pauh.

When the trio saw that the coast was clear, the girls immediately dashed across the road with the security guard trailing behind.
A motorcycle then appeared from the right and rammed into the girls, sending one of them tumbling to the ground while the other managed to avoid it in the nick of time.

Instead of checking on the girl that he rammed into, the motorcyclist drove off as though nothing happened.
Thankfully, the girl didn’t seem too seriously hurt by the accident as she was able to get back on her feet fairly quickly and gets comforted by the security guard.
