A dog walker accused of pushing a cyclist into a canal after arguing she should have slowed down as she approached on a narrow path has protested his innocence.
Footage filmed from Klaudia Mitura's bicycle showed her travelling alongside the Ashton Canal in Greater Manchester as she came across a couple walking their dog.
The 34-year-old machine operator, who lives in Manchester but is originally from Poland, put on her brakes in front of the pair as one shouted at her to 'slow down'.
Mother-of-two Ms Mitura then pointed out the walkers had a dog, but the man responded: 'Yeah but you're on a f**king bike' - before calling her 'a f**king idiot'.
He then appeared to push the cyclist, who cannot swim, into the water – which prompted immediate panic because she was still strapped to her bike pedals.
