The collision also caused the rider to come off his scooter and after a brief exchange of words with the adults, he then left the scene in the direction of the train station without leaving his details.
A member of the public who heard the incident was able to take a photo of the man as he rode away.
A number of enquiries have been carried out since the incident and investigating officers are now appealing for the man pictured to come forward.
They are also asking anyone who recognises him to contact police.
