  Ms Yardley, of Bourne, Lincolnshire, said: 'When we looked back we were like "omg, he's full on ran him over" - all the girls were in hysterics watching it.

  'As he walked out of the bank he put his foot down, so then he tried to think - "oh God, I'm going" and then he hit him and just ran him over - it's just the way he falls on the floor.

  'Then everyone came over, regardless of Covid - there must have been about ten people standing around him trying to get the little man on his scooter away from him.

  'I just couldn't believe the man carried on going - I couldn't believe how he didn't stop because he still continued to run him over even though he was actually parked on him.'

  The 28-year-old said she's since spoken to the man who was hit in the video and that although his ankle was bruised and grazed from the incident he had managed to 'laugh it off' and was also in 'hysterics' at the video.
