A teenager has been injured, and his young dog killed, by a hit-and-run motorcyclist at a park in Dundee.
The 15-year-old had stopped to watch primary children play football at Mill O' Mains park at about 1830 BST on Tuesday when he was hit.
The person on the red scrambler bike did not stop and rode away with another biker who was carrying a teenage girl with no helmet.
The boy was taken to Ninewells Hospital with an ankle injury.
The two motorbikes had appeared from hedges at the north east of the park on Barns of Claverhouse Road and sped along the side of the football pitch.
The bike that hit the boy was driven by a male wearing a dark jacket and dark helmet.
The other machine was blue and white and was also ridden by a male with a dark jacket and helmet. The girl passenger wore a green jacket and had dark brown hair.
The dog, an 11-month-old Yorkshire Terrier, was taken home while bleeding heavily but died on the way to the vets.
Police described the culprits as "reckless" and urged anyone with information to come forward.

Re: not a good image

things like this do us no favours, maybe its time to inform plod when we see these little scrotes buzzing about on there bikes annoying the hell out of people, i never considered myself the type to "tell tales", but we either have to distance ourselves from these sort of people or we do whatever necessary to stop them,

i would never discourage youngsters from using dirt bikes, but it has to be done responsibly and away from public areas to avoid a repeat if this sort of thing

Sam you are right. I sometimes see a youngster riding around near the office in Inverness with another guy on the back - no helmets either and sometimes along the footpaths.

Agreed but the police are loath to do anything until there is/are injuries as they come out looking bad if the scote is injured trying to get away.

Re: not a good image

no one should be allowed to ride a motorcycle in the vicinity of other people (or animals) without insurance - period!
If that dog was mine I'd neck the scrote on the bike, permanently disable the lowlife cretin
