The incident happened at about 10:12 am in PU048, Salasi opposite Post Office, in Karu, Abuja Municipal Area Council when the woman, a voter, was attempting to cross the road to her polling unit.
The motorcycle rider who carried the flag of one of the political parties rode in a frenzy as if he was under the influence.
Voters in the area immediately apprehended the motorcyclist and handed him over to security operatives deployed for the election.
