A partially-blind man was left injured on the ground after a collision with two e-bikes in Swindon town centre.

The crash, which took place at around 1.30pm on Friday, November 1, saw two e-bikes riding through Regent Street in Swindon collide with a partially-sighted man using a cane.

The man, who has not been identified, was knocked to the ground and sustained minor injuries during the fall which left his cane broken.

Due to the central location of the crash which took place around midday, it is likely that there were onlookers nearby.

Police are now searching for the two e-bike cyclists responsible, and are urging anyone who witnessed the incident to get in touch.
