A teenager has appeared in court accused of causing a youngster serious injury by driving dangerously
A teenager has appeared in court accused of causing a youngster serious injury by driving dangerously.
Police were called out to Aberdeen's Cairngorm Drive around 3.15pm on Monday amid reports of a collision between a green Kawasaki motorcycle and a 10-year-old boy.
The schoolboy was rushed to Aberdeen Royal Infirmary, where he was treated for serious, but not life threatening, injuries.
Jake Henry, 18, appeared in private at the city's sheriff court on Wednesday in connection with the incident.
He is alleged to have caused serious injury by driving dangerously, without insurance and without a licence.
He is also accused of failing to report an accident to the police and failing to identify himself to officers as the driver of a vehicle.
The teenager also faces a charge of acting in a threatening and abusive manner.
Henry, of Aberdeen, made no plea and no declaration and his case was continued for further examination.
He was released on bail pending a further court appearance.
