New description of hit-and-run e-scooter rider

Police in Dundee have issued a new description of an e-scooter rider who crashed into a teenage boy in a wheelchair before fleeing the scene.

The boy was seriously injured in the collision, which happened on Strathmore Avenue, opposite the Travelodge Hotel, at about 22:15 on Saturday.

Police said the 17-year-old was crossing the road in his wheelchair when he was struck by a male riding an e-scooter. He was taken to Ninewells Hospital for treatment.

The rider was described as aged between 20 and 30 years old, wearing a dark top, a hi-vis vest, green trousers and a dark knitted hat.

Officers said the e-scooter rider did not stop, and he made off in the direction of Lawton Road.

He is believed to have last been seen in the Byron Street area.

Insp Jamie Allen said: "Our enquiries are ongoing to trace this male, and we would ask him to come forward.

"I am also urging anyone who was in the area at the time to please get in touch or has any knowledge as to the identity of the e-scooter rider.

"If you have private CCTV or dash-cam footage that would also assist our enquiries, please contact us."
