A man is sought after an 81-year-old woman was struck by an e-scooter following a footpath confrontation after an AFL match in Melbourne’s east.
The woman was walking toward Jolimont Railway Station from the MCG after the Carlton-Collingwood match on Friday, May 3, when she was confronted by a man riding an e-scooter at about 11pm.
The man told the woman to move off the footpath, and she told him the path was not for vehicles, and walked around him, police say.
As the woman walked away, she was struck from behind by the e-scooter, causing her to fall to the ground and lose consciousness.
The e-scooter rider did not stop and was chased by a passer-by and last seen heading west from the Swan Street Bridge.
The victim was taken to hospital with non-life-threatening injuries, where she is still recovering from the incident.
Police have today released an image of a man they are hoping to identify and speak to about the incident.
The man is believed to have to have very fair skin with a stocky build, is of average height, has straight blonde/brown hair, and grey/blue eyes.
He was wearing thick-lensed glasses causing his eyes to appear magnified and a red jacket in shiny, waterproof material.
