Appeal following e-scooter collision

We received a report that a toddler has been in collision with the e-scooter in New Beacon Road where it joins Harrrowby Lane in Grantham at around 12 noon on 5 June. 

The e-scooter is reported to have been ridden on the pavement, and collided with the child. The child sustained a cut to the knee, but was thankfully otherwise unharmed. 

Since the incident, officers have followed a number of lines of enquiry and we're now asking for the help of our local community to find the rider of the e-scooter. 

The rider is described as female with long dark brown hair tied back in a ponytail. We do not have a rough age for her. She was wearing a dark jacket, and the scooter was dark grey.

The rider did not leave any details with the people at the scene, and left in the direction of Harrowby Lane. We are now trying to trace them to help us with our enquiries.

We are asking for anyone who may have been driving in the Beacon Road and Harrrowby Lane area at around 12 noon on 5 June to check dashcam and come forward with any footage which either shows the incident or the rider and scooter. We'd also like information which might lead us to identification.
