You did the right thing to just scare the s**t out of them. Giving them a thump would have just seen you in the police station answering to charges of assault.
Last Thursday, driving down Whalley Road after picking the kids up from school there was a group of three lads stood there about 14/15 year old. Just after we passed them something hit the car. mthead hit the roof! He was gonna 'f***ing kill em' was his exact words. So he whizzed the car round on Garden Street, eventually we caught up with them, he dives out of the car to give em a clout, I just said to the nearest lad "who threw that?" Got the obvious denials from all 3 lads. Big mistake was that they were all in uniform, so dead calm I just said "it's ok lads I'll come into school tomorrow, have a word with your head teacher and ID you in asembley and let him sort you out." One lad eventually said "Sorry it was me". I just said "your damn lucky I haven't let him give you a thump, now get on your way and don't ever do anything like that again or next time you might not be so lucky"
It seemed to work
