Watch dramatic moment 79-year-old is knocked off his motorbike in Leeds hit-and-run

Police have launched an appeal to find a car driver who knocked a pensioner off his motorbike in a hit and run on a Leeds road.

CCTV footage of the incident shows the 79-year-old victim riding along Carlton Lane at around 3.20pm on Sunday July 4.

The driver of a white Fiat Panda attempts to overtake him but is forced to cut back inside as the two vehicles reach a bend in the road, knocking the man off his motorbike.
