This frightening incident occurred in front of a TLS reader’s home – located on a one-way street in Flatbush – this past Friday afternoon.
Though the incident didn’t occur in Lakewood, it highlights the importance for pedestrians to never rely on drivers spotting you on the road.
Baruch Hashem the young girl only suffered minor injuries.
The driver was arrested at the scene, sources told TLS.

VIDEO REMOVED UPON FAMILY’S REQUEST.
Poor Girl. I hope she is doing fine.
Now I understand why mother taught me to look both ways before crossing, even on a one way street.
Is it possible to post it with a platform other than YouTube? The network I’m on blocks YouTube clips?
Y is she screaming at him. Take care of the kid 1st!!
why was the driver arrested ?
He was arrested because it is a one way street.
Ouch !! That’s horrifying. Thx for posting.
And he was driving the wrong way down that one way street
Thank you for reposting on a different platform! If this could be standard practice for all future (and maybe even past?) postings, that would be greatly appreciated. I know that many others have a similar issue – in fact, Aish.com offers a non-YouTube option for all their videos. Thanks again!
Driver was definitely at fault for driving the wrong way. However, please don’t show this video to your children. Teach your children to safely cross at crosswalks and not to run out from between parked cars.
