Police in Derry are still appealing for help tracking down a man spotted riding a scrambler with a child.

The incident occured along the Moss road on Monday.

Speaking after the incident, a spokesperson for the PSNI says,

"Words failed me today, Ballyarnett Neighbourhood team were driving along Moss Road when we saw a little scrambler flying down the footpath just in front of us.

"The driver turned around at which point we saw he had a really small child sat on the bike in front of him"

"He saw us and set off bouncing and wobbling down pavements and car parks as if we were chasing him.

"He needn't have worried. Unlike him we care about the safety of the child. I wasn't going to chase the idiot for him to lose control and kill the child.

"This is the second time we've seen him out with his child.

"Both riders were wearing black helmets and the fella was wearing a grey tracksuit."
