The shocking footage was captured on a camera worn by an officer after reports of nuisance behaviour, as reported by Need To Know.
Locals in Broadstairs, Kent, called police about the teens on bikes riding into oncoming traffic and performing wheelies near members of the public.
When officers attended the Westwood Cross shopping centre one of theens cycled into an officer.
The teenager was stopped and his details were taken before the group was moved on.
A dispersal order has been put in place by Kent police giving officers additional power to formally disperse anyone found to be causing issues.
Anyone over the age of 10 can be moved on and banned from the area for up to 48 hours. If they are seen in the area again, they risk being arrested.
High-visibility foot patrols attended the area in Broadstairs to reassure members of the public but by Saturday evening, police had dispersed five teenagers and seized two bicycles after they were seen to be used to commit nuisance behaviour.
The next day, another six teenagers were dispersed and two additional bicycles seized.
Thanet Inspector Richard Batten said: “Bicycles have been seized and officers have also spoken to those responsible, as well as their parents, about their actions.
“Our aim is not to stop children riding their bikes during the summer months, but there are increased risks when people decide to cycle around busy shopping areas, approaching cars and pedestrians, as it poses a risk to others as well as their own safety.
“There are other locations in Thanet which are safer surroundings for that activity.
“Action will be taken against anyone found to be carrying out nuisance behaviour and we hope that people do feel confident that we are responding when they report concerns regarding anti-social behaviour.”
