A CYCLIST from Southend captured the moment a passing kangaroo jumped over a fellow biker's head as they raced along a road.
Ex-pat Peter Roberts, who is originally from Shoeburyness, filmed the near miss on a bike cam as he and his friends went on a bike ride in Frank Barker Road, Humbug Scrub, Australia.
Mr Roberts posted the extraordinary video on Facebook, with the comment: "Today's excitement: Attack of the Roo!!!
"Note. No animals were harmed in the making of the video.
"Michael Bland however needs to buy a lotto ticket!"
Mr Bland, who had to duck out of the way as the kangaroo sprang across his path, commented: "It definitely freaked me out."
