And police are appealing for witnesses after one of the occupants of the car shouted at the boy to look where he was going, before the vehicle drove off without stopping to speak to officers or report the accident.

A police spokesman said: “The incident was reported to us at about 4pm.

“We are investigating a non-stop road traffic collision between a 10-year-old boy and a small white car.
