Karma for road rage driver who tried to mow down fleeing pedestrian
An angry driver faced instant karma after trying to run over a pedestrian in a road rage incident. The man was only saved by a lamp post which stopped the vehicle from mowing him down. Footage of the incident showed the car mounting the pavement in pursuit of the pedestrian who quickly hid behind the streetlight, leaving the car wedged in to a wall. The chaos was caught on camera by David Lloyd Jones in Ashton-under-Lyne, England in August 2024. It's not clear if the two men knew each other. David said: 'I filmed a bunch of people flipping out. I didn't know them.' The Daily Mail has contacted the Greater Manchester Police for comment.

Instant karma for 'road rage' driver who tried to mow down fleeing pedestrian
A dangerous driver suffered instant karma after trying to ram a fleeing pedestrian during a a road range incident. Shocking footage showed a driver trying to mow down a passer-by in a small blue car as he ran along the road in fear. The squeal of tires and brakes could be heard as the car raced down the busy street lined with parked cars and moving traffic towards a man dressed in pink shorts. The man was only saved by a lamp post which stopped the car from running in to the back of him. The clip showed the car mounting the pavement in pursuit of the pedestrian who quickly nipped behind the lamppost, leaving the car wedged in to a wall. The vehicle, which only narrowly missed the scared man then reversed off the pavement with its bumper hanging off before chasing the man down once again who had tried to flee. The car drove up and down the street while a man on the video could be heard shouting: 'F***ing hell that was crazy'. The chaos was caught on camera by David Lloyd Jones in Ashton-under-Lyne, Greater Manchester, in August 2024. The squeal of tires and brakes could be heard as the car raced down the busy street lined with parked cars and moving traffic towards a man dressed in pink shorts It's not clear if the two men knew each other. David said: 'I filmed a bunch of people flipping out. I didn't know them.' The Daily Mail has contacted Greater Manchester Police. It comes after a suspected shoplifter received instant karma when he was taken down by two police officers on bicycles manufactured by a toy store. The footage, shared by the Havering branch of the Metropolitan Police, shows the man leaving the Marks & Spencer store in The Liberty Shopping Centre, Romford, east London, with a basket full of seemingly stolen goods. Wearing a checked blue shirt with denim shorts and white trainers, the suspected thief then appears to notice he is being tailed by one officer and begins running away from them while holding the basket. Looking to cross the road, the man then runs straight into the path of the other officer, whose oncoming bike he collides with. Shouts of 'Alright, mate, stop where you are,' and 'Police. Stop where you are now,' can be heard before he is apprehended, his basket whittling away as he is brought down. Prior to being caught, CCTV footage in the store, captured at around 1pm on June 10, shows the man packing items such as bacon into his basket. It is unknown what else he appears to have stolen or the total value of the basket, but alternate angles of him leaving the shop show the basket to be much fuller than just one packet of meat. Posting the video to X, Havering MPS hailed the apprehension of the man as 'community policing in action' which helps 'keep local people and businesses safe'. MailOnline has approached the Metropolitan Police for more information.

Moment car speeds at pedestrian missing him by inches before ploughing into lamppost
SHOCKING footage shows the moment a car missed a pedestrian by inches before ploughing into a lamppost. The chaos was caught on camera by David Lloyd Jones in Ashton-under-Lyne, Greater Manchester, in August 2024. 4 4 A man in pink shorts is seen sprinting down the pavement as a car speeds after him in the video. But instead of staying on the road the blue motor mounts the curb in hot pursuit of the pedestrian. Footage shows the vehicle smashing into a bin before slamming into a lamppost - just inches from the fleeing man. The man then turns around and appears to be pointing and laughing despite the near miss. But he quickly runs off again as the driver unwedges his car from between the road sign and wall. Debris from the front of the car falls to the floor as he reverses away from the smash. The man in shorts has already run out of shot at this point as the driver of the blue car puts his foot on the accelerator. Footage shows him racing around at speed while shocked bystanders watched on. David said: "I filmed a bunch of people flipping out. I didn't know them." He was heard saying in the video: "Man that was crazy. That was some madness. "That's some of the craziest s*** I've seen." It's not clear if the two men knew each other. The police have been contacted for comment. It comes after a car was seen reversing into a pedestrian before ploughing into them a second time last month. One local watched on in horror as they filmed the incident, as the pedestrian was launched into the air by the force of the crash. In the video, a white car with a sunroof can be seen swerving around a second black car - slamming into a pedestrian in the process. The unnamed walker in orange was knocked to the ground by the impact whilst a woman can be heard shouting in Tower Hamlets, in London. Then, the vehicle drove into the man again which propelled him into the air. As he hit the ground, the woman can be seen trying to pry open the car door whilst shouting: 'Open this f***ing car!' One man wearing blue shorts immediately bolted from the vehicle and escaped on foot. Meanwhile, a man in grey robes silently waited next to the vehicle. 4
