OP explains what happened before taxi drove away
In a follow-up TikTok post, the OP explained in detail what exactly transpired prior to the taxi incident.
She clarified that it was not a hit-and-run like some netizens thought. Instead, she had hit a bump on the pavement while cycling.
The impact sent her and her pet fish flying, resulting in her knees being scraped and bloody. Her bicycle was also badly damaged as a result.

“So we flagged that cab that you saw, and then he stopped like quite far away,” she said in the video.
The OP also explained that she ran as fast as she could despite her injuries as she did not want to keep the taxi driver waiting.
