Quad bikers hunted over crash and stabbing reports
PA MediaA group of quad bike riders knocked down three people, damaged cars and stabbed a man over the course of a single night, police have said.
Cleveland Police officers are investigating reports that a group of between 10 and 15 young men were seen riding in Ormesby on Saturday night where they crashed into several people.
The group is then believed to have travelled to Slater Walk in Grangetown shortly before 01:00 on Sunday where the windows of a building were smashed and a man inside suffered stab wounds.
The force said a 16-year-old boy, who initially claimed to be 18, has been charged with a number of offences including attempted grievous bodily harm.
He was also charged with racially aggravated harassment, a public order offence, driving without a licence, obstructing police and possession of class A drugs.
A 23-year-old who was also arrested on suspicion of grievous bodily harm, actual bodily harm and criminal damage has been released on bail.
The same group of people are also believed to have threatened a female member of staff at Goji's Pizza Di Mare in High Street, Redcar.
A Cleveland Police spokesperson said: "We believe that there have been other victims throughout the night who have not come forward to speak to us yet and are appealing for them to get in touch so that we can check on their welfare."
