A MAN suffered injuries after he was knocked from his bicycle by a car in Kidderminster, which drove off.

West Mercia Police are now appealing for witnesses after the incident which took place between 2.30pm and 3pm on Sunday (October 11).

A 20-year-old man was riding his bicycle along the A448 Comberton Road near to the school in the direction of Kidderminster, when a car hit the rear of his bike.

This caused the man to fall to the pavement, while the car drove away from the scene, leaving the cyclist at the roadside without checking on his welfare.

It is thought the car may have been a red Vauxhall Corsa.

The man sustained grazing to his face, arms and legs and was very shaken from the incident. His bike was damaged and is now unusable.

Police are appealing to anyone who may have witnessed the incident, or who may have any further information. Witnesses are urged to call 101, quoting incident reference number 453S of October 11.

Alternatively, information can also be provided anonymously to the independent charity, Crimestoppers on 0800 555111.
