Authorities are seeking cyclists in connection with an escape.
In an unfortunate incident that took place on Saturday afternoon, a 72-year-old man sustained slight injuries after a collision with a cyclist on a foot and hiking path parallel to Rabenkampstraße in Dinslaken.
The elderly man was walking with a companion, a dog, and another dog, heading towards Karl-Heinz-Klingen-Straße at around 4 PM. According to a witness, the cyclist, described as approximately 45 to 50 years old, slim, and between 1.85 to 1.90 meters tall, was riding a trekking bike and passed the man "very fast." The cyclist's handlebars brushed against the 72-year-old, causing him the injuries.
However, the cyclist did not remain at the scene after the collision, fleeing instead. The identity of the cyclist is not publicly known at this time.
