A five-year-old girl required hospital treatment for a head injury after being hit by a man riding an e-scooter "at speed" on a footpath.

Gloucestershire Police said she had been walking along the Honeybourne Line, a former railway line in Cheltenham turned into a foot and cycle path, with two adults at about 12.30 BST on Monday when she was hit.

The man was riding "at speed", the force added, and the girl was knocked to the ground. The collision also caused the rider to fall off his scooter.

After an "exchange of words" with the adults, the rider left the scene without leaving his details.

A man in his 30s has since contacted police and is due to be interviewed later this week.
