Orlando Driver Assaults Teen Biker on Video
15 Jul
Summary
- A driver struck and forced a teen off his bike.
- The driver was seen slapping the 15-year-old.
- Police impounded some bikes for not being street legal.
A startling video captured a confrontation in Orlando's Lake Nona neighborhood where a driver physically assaulted a teenager. The incident occurred on Friday afternoon near Laureate Park after a group of teens reportedly attempted to signal the driver to pull over due to her perceived erratic driving.
The dispute quickly escalated. The video shows the woman yelling at the 15-year-old cyclist, followed by her slapping him and causing him to be forced off the road. The teen was subsequently hospitalized and is now recovering. An attorney representing the minor confirmed the assault and the teen's condition.
In a related development, Orlando police impounded several of the teenagers' bicycles, citing that they were not street legal. This action has raised questions about accountability for all parties involved. The driver's legal status, whether she has been cited or charged, remains under active investigation by Orlando police.
