Nicky Campbell’s daughter Lilla is badly injured in e-bike hit and run before enduring nightmare evening in London NHS hospital
Nicky Campbell’s daughter Lilla was seriously injured in an e-bike hit-and-run in south London last night.
Speaking on social media on Saturday, the BBC radio presenter described the family’s nightmarish ordeal after Lilla, 26, was admitted to hospital; But a man later revealed himself to Lilla while she was waiting injured in A&E.
He said Lilla was hit by the e-bike while she was with her sisters in Peckham, but the driver “scraped” after a crowd gathered at the scene.
The journalist said that although he was “seriously injured”, he was now at home and recovering.
Unfortunately, her ordeal was not over after the rapid arrival of paramedics who took Lilla and her sisters to Kings College Hospital – only for a ‘drunk’ to reveal himself to the group.
He has since been arrested, Mr Campbell said.

Describing a ‘long and emotional night’, Mr Campbell said: ‘My daughter Lilla was hit and run by a bike in Peckham last night – hope there is CCTV.’
Adding that an ambulance arrived at the scene within two minutes of being called, he continued: ‘She is badly injured but now at home. It could have been much worse. We are incredibly lucky.
‘Then when she, her sisters and a friend arrived at A&E a drunk entered the trauma room they were in and exposed himself to them.
‘The police were there and he was arrested. The police were amazing. I spoke to them when I arrived at 3.15am and he is now in custody.
‘We all want to say a big thank you to our amazing police, the wonderful staff, nurses and doctors at Kings College Hospital. Calum and his team. From the depths of our hearts. ‘They were all amazing.’
