The boy was taken to hospital by paramedics and received treatment for minor injuries. But now, officers from Cheshire Police are appealing for witnesses following the collision or to hear from the rider of the bike.

Police Constable Hannah Dodgson said: "Thankfully the child suffered minor injuries as a result of the collision but it doesn’t bear thinking about what could have happened. The Farrell Street area would have been busy at this time of day due to the nearby school and so I would ask anyone who may have witnessed the incident and has not yet spoken to us, to please do so.
"The same goes to anyone who may have captured dashcam or CCTV footage of the motorbike prior or just after the collision. I would also ask the rider of the motorbike to please come forward to police so that they can assist with our enquiries."
Anyone with information is asked to report it to Cheshire Police online or call 101 quoting IML 1230511. Information can also be passed onto Crimestoppers anonymously by visiting online or calling 0800 555 111.
