Shocking footage has emerged of an alleged hit-and-run crash in Sydney’s Northern Beaches after a man was accused of ramming a teenager on an e-bike near two off-duty police officers.
The 15-year-old boy was allegedly struck by a Volkswagen SUV about 4.30pm yesterday at the intersection of Abbott and Pitt roads, in North Curl Curl.
Police say events began when the 38-year-old man driving the vehicle allegedly made an offensive hand gesture towards a group of teenage e-bike riders before driving away.

The teenagers followed the car before one of them began arguing with the driver.
During the row, the driver allegedly threw a water bottle at the teen before driving away.
The 15-year-old then threw the same water bottle back at the car, but it did not make an impact.
The teenager continued following the car before blocking it at the intersection.
The driver is accused of hitting the teenager with his vehicle, causing the boy to be thrown from the e-bike.
As the camera moves, it reveals the 15-year-old boy who had allegedly been struck.
“He ran me over,” the alleged victim can be heard saying.
“He ran straight over me.”
Two nearby off-duty police officers and other onlookers told the driver to stop, but he allegedly ignored them and drove off.

“It’s just a shocking thing to happen in a quiet street like this, especially involving a young kid on a bike,” a resident told 9News.
Paramedics were called and a rescue helicopter was put on standby as a precaution.
The 15-year-old boy was treated for serious leg injuries before being taken to hospital in a serious but stable condition.
Police launched an investigation. The 38-year-old man handed himself in at Dee Why, before being transferred to Manly Police Station.
He was charged with driving furiously in a motor vehicle, causing bodily harm, negligent driving and driving while a licence application has been refused.
The man was granted strict conditional bail and is scheduled to appear in court next month.
NSW Premier Chris Minns said today he was “particularly worried” about how e-bikes were overtaking footpaths and roads.
“They’re getting in the way of citizens, particularly pedestrians,” Minns said.
