The moment thug falls off their scooter after trying to kick a police car

This was the moment a thug tried to kick a police car - before falling off the scooter he was riding in an embarrassing CCTV blooper. Footage has been released showing a man, alongside another person on a quadbike, riding along Churchill Drive in Wrexham.

The clip, shared by North Wales Police shows them riding up the road before turning round. The man on the four-wheeled vehicle drives on the pavement past the police car, North Wales Live reports.

Meanwhile, the man on the scooter drives along the road before kicking out with his right leg at the wing mirror of the stationary police vehicle. As he does so however, he looses balance and falls sideways off the scooter, with the vehicle skidding off up the road.

Pulling his trousers back up, the man then staggers to his feet. A piece of the scooter looks like it has fallen off in the road, and his friend picks it up, before the scooter is retrieved and both speed away from the scene.

North Wales Police are now appealing for anyone with information to get in touch. Inspector Luke Hughes said: "I have managed to obtain footage of our ‘friends’ playing on their toys on Churchill Drive on Monday - the incident where one tried to kick the wing mirror off a parked police vehicle, which didn’t go as planned, as per the below footage.

"Do you know them, or do you know where they are keeping the bikes? (Or, what’s left of them??) Let me know via DM / webchat or on 101." You can get more stories from across Wales by subscribing to our newsletter here.
