Greater Manchester Police<\/a> confirmed they were investigating the incident but that no arrests have been made.<\/p>\nKlaudia, who is from Poland but lives in Manchester, said: “I was on my way to work, I cycle every day this way.<\/p>\n
“As you can see in the video I was trying to pass the couple. He did not want to move out of the way.<\/p>\n
“When he passed me, he just pushed me in the water. They were gone, and didn’t turn their heads to see if I’m alive or not.<\/p>\n

“I was strapped to the pedals of the bike so it was really hard to get out. I was thinking of how to get out, no one was there so I was in the water for about five minutes before someone took me out.<\/p>\n
“A man was walking down the canal and I asked him to help me out and he called the police because my mobile was broken.<\/p>\n
“I was very scared because I can’t swim, I stood on a stone. I thought I would drown.<\/p>\n
“I don’t know what I would do if no one had walked past me. They didn’t look back to see if I’m okay or if I’m drowning.<\/p>\n
“He refused to move out of the way, I didn’t do anything, I just wanted to pass him and go my way.”<\/p>\n

Cycle camera footage shows the moment Klaudia approached the man walking along Ashton Canal<\/p>\n
“I need help with my mental health. I’m on my own with that, I’m traumatised. It’s the first time anything like this has happened.<\/p>\n
“Cycling was my main means of transport. I’m physically OK but mentally it’s really bad.<\/p>\n
“I need to be strong because I have two kids so I can’t show them that something is wrong with me.”<\/p>\n
Commenters have condemned the assault while also claiming cyclists do not have right of way.<\/p>\n

One commenter said: “The cyclist stopped. There was room for both. No need for an assault. And that is what it was. Assault.”<\/p>\n

A third said: “Shared path with people having right of way, but that’s assault.”<\/p>\n
