The CCTV footage shows three people riding what witnesses describe as 'scrambler bikes' down Childwall Park Avenue, at around 12.05pm, on Wednesday, March 9.

One of the 'scrambler bikes' then hits a Silver Nissan as it attempts to pull into the driveway of a house.

The driver is seen running off from the scene after the crash, before the bike bursts into flames.

Another driver then circles back to the scene of the accident and begins threatening and shouting at the driver and a person outside of the home.

The suspect then jumps on the bonnet of a Range Rover, which was not involved in the crash, as it is parked on the driveway.

The thug, who has a balaclava on, then kicks in the front window of the Range Rover.

Police confirmed they are aware of the incident and are appealing for information.
