A CRECHE worker who was knocked down and injured by a cyclist wants to trace a Good Samaritan who rushed to her aid.

Tabitha Ellwood, 33, suffered two black eyes, a lump on her head, bruising and a suspected broken nose in the incident.

She had been walking back from her job at the Charlie Chaplin playground in Kennington when she was injured in Peckham Rye on November 16.

She said: "I was crossing the road in Peckham Rye one minute, the next I was lying on the pavement with a really sore head and covered in blood.

"When I came round there were a lot of people fussing over me and this cyclist telling me I should be more careful - all I could think was 'I'm not exactly in the mood for a lecture right now'."

She added: "Then there was this really calm person called Sarah who seemed to take control of it all."

The woman accompanied Tabitha home on the bus before leaving her with a flatmate.
