"Cyclist's Controversial Victory: Lawsuit Triumphs Over Father of Injured Girl"

A cyclist in Belgium, who was accused of kneeing a 5-year-old girl and knocking her down on Christmas Day 2020, has won a defamation lawsuit against the girl's father. The incident was caught on video and went viral on social media. The cyclist claimed he stuck out his knee to avoid a fall and did not realize he knocked the girl over. The judge ordered the cyclist to pay a small fine but ruled that he did not intentionally hurt the girl. The father posted the video to raise awareness about similar dangers, not seeking revenge. The cyclist filed a defamation lawsuit and won, with the amount of compensation to be decided in April.
