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!

    Titan's Fall: Back to Square One

    Manchester United have once again signalled a restart with the sacking of Ten Hag, and just days later, announced the appointment of Ruben Amorim, who will join midway through the first half of the current season from Sporting Lisbon. Back to square one yet again for the Red Devils who, despite being one of the most successful clubs in England and biggest clubs in the world, have not won a league title since Sir Alex Ferguson’s retirement in 2013.

    Hard Enduro: The ultimate motorsport?

    I enjoy motorsports of all kinds - four wheels good, two wheels better. And while watching them on TV (okay let's be honest Youtube, who even watches TV nowadays) is fun, getting to partake in anything even remotely resembling it, even in a highly truncated, totally superficial manner, is even more exciting.  Earlier this year, I did a short 2.5 day off-road riding 'tour', and it was easily the hardest, most physically demanding 2.5 days I've ever spent on a motorbike. It really gives you a

    Carpark Review: Downtown East

    It used to be most associated with Wild Wild Wet (or Escape Theme Park if you're of a certain vintage) but now is more typically visited by those looking to shop at the NTUC Fairprice of E!Hub or Don Don Donki. Downtown East spans a total of 147,000sqm and was officially opened on 5 November 2000 (according to Wikipedia). For those residing in the far east of Pasir Ris, this is likely to be their port of call for the grocery run (the other typical location being Loyang East). But just how g
