An eight-year-old girl was left with a pair of broken spectacles and a bleeding eye after she was allegedly hit by a food delivery rider on a bicycle on Friday last week. The accident happened as the pupil was walking home from school with her mother on a footpath in Bukit Batok Street 52. The impact shattered the girl's spectacles, injuring her eye and causing her to require surgery, her mother told Chinese-language daily Shin Min Daily News.
