USAIN BOLT JOGGED away from a freak collision with a cameraman moments after he retained his 200m world title.
Bolt ran a magnificent 19.55 to beat Justin Gatlin and complete another brilliant sprint double in Beijing.
But his celebrations were momentarily cut short when a cameraman lost control of his Segway and took the legs from under the world’s fastest man.
Here’s another angle of the bizarre moment: https://vine.co/v/ejQnahMKvTp
Bolt appeared to be none the worse for wear as he dusted himself off and continued to celebrate with fans and pose for pictures at the Bird’s Nest.
“He tried to kill me!” he joked when speaking to the BBC.
“Maybe he was like, ‘He wins too much. Let’s take him out.’”
