Shocking dash-cam footage has emerged of hooded cyclists performing dangerous stunts in front of fast-moving traffic.

The footage, recorded earlier this year in Brinklow Road, heading towards Coombe Abbey, shows more than a dozen teens riding erratically on the road and pavement.

At one point, a boy in a blue camouflaged tracksuit began performing wheelies and swerving across the road in front of frustrated drivers.

The irresponsible cyclists went on to pull out in front of vehicles as they tried to overtake them.

The incident occurred on February 25 around 2pm.

The man caught up in the teenagers’ dangerous game told the Telegraph that he and his elderly mother-in-law were left unnerved and fearing that an accident might occur.

The driver, who asked not to be named, said: “There were about 20 youths in the group and I think they may have been heading for Coombe Country Park.

“My 93 year old mother-in-law was a passenger and she was very unsettled and still talks about it.

“The experience was unnerving. The cyclists were deliberately weaving in front of me.

“As I prepared to go by a sub-group one bike drifted over the central lines whilst looking straight at me in an apparent attempt to frustrate my manoeuvre.”

“The attitude of the group was to be positively obstructive. Some were looking behind and were fully aware of me and a growing queue behind me but continued to ride erratically. Some seemed to be oblivious of the danger as shown by the wheelies performed almost into the oncoming traffic.

“It was totally irresponsible behaviour.

“Had there been an accident it would probably have been me in the firing line.”

West Midlands Police was approached for comment.
