My DH thinks I was wrong to phone 101 last night after a incident where my DD was crossing the road and was nearly gone into by one of these balaclava teens on a ebike.

MY DD said it was safe to cross the road, then next thing a lad on ebike comes speeding along on the wrong side of the road and nearly went into her. Dressessed all in black no lights, safety gear etc. A group of about 4 were on these bikes. The one that nearly went into DD said to to DD to WATCH IT, DD felt very intimidated. DD stared at this youth, he stopped his bike and was staring at her, obviously to frighten her.

Although DD says she didn't feel in immediate danger. She felt quite frightened by this interaction.

I have since phoned 101 to report incident, my partner Say's I am over reacting.

Aibu?

Not an overreaction but the police cant do anything if they don't know who they are.

If they happen to spot them when they're out and about they'll stop them, but they would've stopped them anyway without the report.

Hope your DD is ok, what a horrible thing to happen.

ETA: Fair enough to report though.
