The mother of a Catholic primary school pupil is calling for action after her son was run over by an elderly woman on an electric mobility scooter.
Zoe Sutherland watched as her five-year-old son Brendan was knocked down by the pensioner as he walked in a pedestrianised shopping centre.
Brendan and his brother Lucas, six, both pupils at Christ the King Catholic Primary School in Thornbury, Bristol, are still very shaken up by the incident. Mrs Sutherland, 29, said the woman failed to stop or apologise.
She said: “My boys were just an arm’s length behind me as we were walking along.
"I heard someone say ‘get out of my way, move!’, before I turned around to see her almost hitting Lucas without even giving him the chance to move to the side.
“She swerved and ran into Brendan at full speed – he was on the front of the scooter then he fell off and she ran over his legs.
“They got caught up and he was dragged along the floor, but she just carried on for several metres before running over his legs again.
“It’s a miracle that nothing was broken, but Brendan is still in shock and so am I, especially because she didn’t say sorry.”
