Onlookers rushed to help child
Witness Jeff Robson said he saw two people attend to the boy right away.
"I came about a minute after it happened, and there were two nurses or medical staff from the corner who went to him and checked his pulse and he didn't have a pulse," the man said.
"The two people, one got down and started on his heart, and one started mouth to mouth and they kept going until the ambulance turned up about three minutes later, so he was in a bad way.
"The push bike had been run over completely, we don't know but good chances are a car might've run over the boy. It didn't look good.
"He was lying on the road … [a] very little, small-framed [child]."
