Robert Clarke’s bike was dragged for 100 metres alongside Douglas Street in Dandenong after he was knocked off at 6.40am final Thursday.
Police launched footage as we speak that appeared to point out a white Mitsubishi Lancer accelerating towards the 59-year-old and mounting the kerb to hit him.
A shocked Clarke might be seen on his fingers and knees on the street as his bike is dragged away in footage captured by one other motorist’s dashcam.
The Pakenham man was in tears as he recounted the ordeal as we speak.
“I could just see things flashing past, me as I’m tumbling and then I stopped,” he stated.
“It was just this realisation, ‘I’m still here’, that’s the first thing.”
He suffered nasty cuts and bruises, with police saying he was fortunate to not be badly damage.
A 40-year-old girl from Dandenong got here ahead to police after footage of the incident was circulated.
She has been arrested and is “currently assisting police with their enquiries”.
