Hero or villian? Man kicks bike to stop a free-wheeling kid from crashing

Although there were 'casualties' in this incident, the man did end up stopping the bike.

A confusing video showing a man kicking the bicycle of a young child as he free-wheels down a slope is currently going viral. 

In the video, the child, who is not wearing a helmet or any safety gear, attempts to free-wheel down a slope.

While the slope does not look that steep, it is dangerous for any child (and adult) to ride a bicycle in public without some sort of protection.

The child could be heard screaming (out of fear or joy?) as he goes down the slope.

An unidentified man notices the little boy struggling to control his 'vehicle' and runs up to the speeding bicycle.

He immediately kicks the bicycle to stop the child in his tracks.

This works a little too well as the child flies off his seat and lands face-first on the pavement.

Although the child did sustain some light injuries, the way he fell with his bicycle was hilarious.

The man then looks back towards the camera's direction in search of the boy's parents. 

Before the video ends, the child could be heard crying from the pain.

Netizens' reactions

This video garnered mixed reactions from netizens, some of whom feel that the man could have used a better method to stop the child from getting hurt.

While it has not been confirmed yet if the man is the child's father, his fast reaction is something to applaud. Maybe he plays football a lot?

Honestly, I would have done the same thing to stop the kid from further harm. 

The injuries that he received from falling off his bicycle was just collateral damage.

At least he didn't collide into a tree or gone off the path.

I agree! While this video has been going viral for both the right and wrong reasons, it is always important to stop and help someone in need.

While we might never know if the man is indeed related to the child, at least he managed to save him from a serious injury!

  • A sole-ful tribute

    Car enthusiasts are an emotional bunch. So, I naturally develop feelings for things on wheels, be it four wheels or two. However, I was surprised to discover that I had become attached to my old pair of sneakers, whose soles are so worn that it hurts to wear them.  That is the unequivocal signal to retire them. But I must say "Thank you" before bidding them goodbye. The laceless design is convenient, saving time when you need to rush off in the morning Through thick and

    Cleaning is relaxing?

    Every once in awhile, I find myself watching 20-minute long videos on Youtube on something that most people will probably find quite bizarre: Carpet cleaning videos.  (This video has 5.4m views!!!!) It's... a particular kind of Youtube rabbit hole. I concede that.  However, I must say that I find such videos strangely relaxing and soothing. Beyond the ASMR component of it, I do find something quite nice about the specificity and particularity of such videos, and in some

    Christmas colours: What do they actually mean?

    The members of the Sgcarmart media team recently put its heads together to prepare something special and festive for our readers and viewers - which you can both read about and watch on Instagram - and as we were sitting down to plan things out, we were faced at one point with a deceptively simple question: What are the different meanings behind the colours we associate with Christmas?  In my very non-expert eyes, three distinct colours stand out: Red, green and white primarily,

    The best covers are the ones you don't expect

    I'm not a fan of Christmas.  Let's first set aside the unclear and potentially contentious origins of this particular 'holiday', and my general apathy towards religiosity. (Christians celebrate it as the day of Jesus' birth, though some evidence suggests his actual birth was in the spring. Some historians also note that the Christian traditions of Christmas can be traced back to Pagan roots and the Saturnalia festival, and the chosen 25 December date was an attempt by church leaders to appr
