This is the moment an illegal immigrant cyclist fled after causing the death of a hospital worker after crashing into him running a red light.
Albanian Ermir Loka, 23, mowed down Peter McCombie, 72, at around 15mph as the HR administrator was making his way home from the Royal London Hospital in Whitechapel.
Instead of apologising to his victim he pointed to his damaged bike declaring ‘Look at what you’ve done!' before running away.
The CCTV of Loka has been made public today as he was jailed for two years, after his trial heard he fled because he feared being deported.
But because he has already been in custody awaiting trial for a year he could walk free, as it is taken off sentences and prisoners are usually freed on licence halfway through their terms.
Mr McCombie’s family said in a statement: ‘He left Peter laying in a busy road, seriously injured, and thought only of himself at that time.
'That kind of cowardice is beyond contempt. The anger we feel towards him is beyond words. We cannot even bear to say his name.'
Mr McCombie’s head hit the pavement so hard it fractured his skull and damaged his brain.
He also suffered a fractured jaw bone, a broken rib and bruising to his legs after the collision on Bow Road last July 3.
Veteran NHS staffer Mr McCombie was taken to hospital for treatment, but died from his injuries eight days later despite the valiant efforts of medical staff, Snaresbrook Crown Court heard.

The trial heard Rebecca Guyther was walking down Bow Road with her daughter when she saw the collision and called for an ambulance.
In a witness statement, she said: ‘He was pointing at his bike and saying something like, “What were you doing?’ and things like, ‘Look at what you’ve done!”.’
‘The man on the floor had his eyes open but was not saying anything.’
Ms Guyther added: ‘I saw the cyclist’s face and he looked angry.’
Loka, who is originally from Albania, was cleared by a jury of manslaughter but convicted of causing bodily harm by wanton or furious driving earlier this month following a retrial.
The builder received the maximum sentence for the offence of two years but could be released imminently as he has been in custody since he turned himself in to police a year ago.
Deanna Heer, prosecuting, said the traffic lights had been on red for over five seconds as Loka approached the pedestrian crossing.
‘However, the defendant did not stop. Instead, he continued through the red lights and crashed into Mr McCombie causing him to fall to the ground and hit his head.

‘As a result, his skull was fractured and he suffered severe brain injuries from which he died a few days later.
‘As he lay on the road unconscious, the defendant picked up his bike and cycled away leaving others to call an ambulance for Mr McCombie.’
‘Mr McCombie suffered fractures to his jawbone, one of his left ribs and bruising to his left leg.
‘He fell to the ground which caused his skull to have multiple fractures and his brain to be badly damaged and bleeding.’
Loka fled and CCTV stills of the cyclist were circulated by police.
He abandoned his bike but handed himself in to Leyton police station on 28 July after a friend confronted him
