An 84-year-old Noosa man has been left bruised and bleeding after being knocked over by a girl on an e-scooter.
“Someone will be killed soon unless we put an end to this,” John Terrell’s daughter Cherie Kean said as she voiced her concerns in a letter to Noosa Today.
“Yesterday afternoon my father was on his afternoon daily walk around Noosa Headlands not far from his home.
“At approximately 5pm he was knocked over by a young girl on an e-scooter with no helmet.
“She was travelling towards my father and rode her scooter into my father’s left arm severely injuring leaving bruising and bleeding.
“My father did not sleep that evening as he was extremely stressed. Something must be done to stop this before someone is killed.
“I myself walk every day in Yaroomba and also feel threatened by e-scooters and e bikes that should not be on a footpath.
“Please put a stop to this by banning these weapons.”
The incident has been reported to local police.
