Police hope to identify a group of off-road vehicle riders who threatened officers and caused "significant damage" in Barnsley.

About 15 people on motorbikes and quad bikes blocked the Barnsley Road area of Cudworth at about 17:00 BST on Sunday.

A quad bike rider rammed a police vehicle, South Yorkshire Police said, with the group becoming "abusive and threatening" towards officers.

The group also caused damage to street furniture and a local pub, it added.

The force believe the riders are from the West Yorkshire area.

Those with information have been asked to get in contact with police via 101.
