Street on Saturday night.
Three youths, two riding without helmets, sped along Aberdeen's Union Street
in front of the crowds.

straight into it and then ended up in the crowd.
Ten people, including five children, were taken to the city's Royal
Infirmary were treated for shock, one
of them a three year old child.
Police said that they had been following the motorcycle they were powerless
