Moment noisy Huddersfield biker caught pulling wheelie as children walk home from school
A noisy biker was caught on camera pulling a wheelie shortly before children made their way home from primary school.
The biker performed the stunt on Monday afternoon in May Street, Crosland Moor, Huddersfield, which minutes later was busy with families and children as it was school pick-up time. May Street is just off Park Road and runs beside St Barnabas Parish Church. The road is currently being resurfaced.
There has been 'numerous' incidents of antisocial motorcycle riding in the area, according to local councillor Jo Lawson who has urged residents to flag up incidents to West Yorkshire Police.

Councillor Lawson, who represents Crosland Moor and Netherton, told YorkshireLive: "West Yorkshire Police are aware of the numerous incidents of antisocial motor bikes within the area and I have alerted them to this incident.
"They do act on complaints and have previously upped patrols in hot spot areas but it is a case of being in the right place at the right time to catch them in action."
She urged residents to call police on 101 or visit the online portal, adding: "Residents can also contact myself or one of my ward colleagues if they prefer and we pass on any information to the Police and relevant authorities on their behalf."
Councillor Lawson said action was being taken to make life harder for antisocial bikers.
She said: "I am hoping that when the new barriers are fitted to the entrance to Walpole Rec from Dryclough Road this will cut down on the antisocial bikes coming onto the fields and causing problems for residents and children on the fields."
