Jessie had just gotten off the trolley near the station when the man on the scooter refused to move out of the way.
He then drove off but quickly turned around before hitting her from behind.
“She moved between 7-10 meters away and this guy leaned back and then crushed her from behind,” son Ken told 7NEWS.
“Apparently she stopped breathing for about 20 seconds, that’s what we heard.”
Jesse remains in hospital with five stitches in his arm and is undergoing further tests on his spine.
“Such a cowardly thing, I don’t know what would have occurred to him to do that,” Jesse told 7NEWS from his hospital bed.
“Why would anyone do that?
“He should be ashamed of himself.”
Ken said they are still waiting on test results to find out the full extent of her injuries.
“I’m waiting for an MRI to see if there’s any permanent damage to her spine. It’s pretty scary,” he said.
The police are investigating the incident, with Ken appealing for the alleged perpetrator to come forward.
“You made a mistake, you did something wrong, come forward,” he added.
Jesse’s story quickly attracted attention in the AFL world and Collingwood legend Peter Daikos was among those to offer his support.
The club grandee sent a video message on behalf of the club on Monday morning.

“I hope you’re feeling better and I’m really looking forward to hearing that you’re back at the Collingwood games.
“All the best not only from me but the boys and most importantly the Collingwood Football Club.
“All our love, get well soon.”
Jesse’s granddaughter initially shared details of the incident over the weekend.
“He is now in hospital with stitches and a spinal injury,” she wrote on Facebook.
“My dad is currently traveling down to be with her and provide her with some support at this time.
“There were some amazing people around who provided immediate support and police evidence, for which we are truly grateful. If anyone else has more information it would be greatly appreciated.
“It’s so disappointing that a game that was about violence against women ended this way for our family,” the woman’s granddaughter continued.
“If you know my grandma, you know she’s the biggest fan of the Collingwood Football Club. She commutes two hours to and from games each week.
“Hopefully she’ll be back on her feet and visiting them again in no time.”
Police confirmed that the investigation into the incident is ongoing.
