SHOCKING CCTV shows the moment a driver mowed down a six-year-old girl before allegedly raising her middle finger and driving away.
Little Sumaiya Ahmed suffered a fractured skull in the crash in Chadderton, Greater Manchester.
Sumaiya's mum Jukia claims after smashing into the child, the driver opened her window and told the family to 'f*** off' before sticking up her middle finger and fleeing the scene.
The youngster was rushed to hospital but is expected to make a full recovery.
Footage shows the car swerving slightly before hitting the youngster on Eustace Street.
The dark grey vehicle – believed to be a Toyota – then reverses, mounts the pavement, turns right and drives away as passers-by rush to help the child.
Sumaiya was making her way home from school with her mum and siblings when she was hit at around 3pm on Tuesday.
Jukia said she put up her hand as she crossed the road and expected the car to slow down.
Sumaiya's auntie, Sultana Khatun, told the Manchester Evening News: "She didn't make it in time to slow down and she hit the child.
"She then reversed and then drove off. She opened the window told the mum to 'f***k off', stuck her middle finger up at her and then drove off.
"The girl has got a fracture in her skull on her forehead. She is still in hospital.
"They have said she has no permanent injuries. She is talking and she is well. It could have been fatal.
"Her mum isn't good, she isn't in a good way at all."
Greater Manchester Police were unable to confirm whether the driver later stopped – or whether the incident is being treated as a hit-and-run.
A spokesman said: "A six-year-old child was taken to hospital. Enquiries are ongoing."
