Ellie Gilhooley, who took the above footage, said: “I’d just had a sunbed and was walking to Spar to meet my sister.
“I was laughing so started to record, but at the next bus stop, pedestrians and drivers told the bus driver and shouted at the kids.
“I carried on walking, so I’m not too sure what happened after that. They were school kids, (aged) about 14 or 15.
“Obviously, I knew it was dangerous for them to be doing so; I don’t encourage it. I was shocked.”
An Arriva spokesperson added: "At Arriva, the safety of our passengers and drivers is one of utmost importance.
“In situations like this, we will always provide the relevant CCTV footage to support police investigations where possible."
