It's going to depend on who operates the CCTV (ie: Police or Council) as to who you approach and how.

If it's the Police then talk to the same officer(s) you spoke to regarding the incident and ask them to speak to their CCTV office to get them to check the CCTV for the time/date and location.

If it's the Council then It'll probably be someone in Street Environment (or somesuch) that you'll need to speak to, however (and this is important) they will most likely require that any requests are made by the Police.

You'll not get to see any of the footage due to the Data Protection Act, but it's entirely possible that the Police may be able to get an ID and then charge the miscreant.

It'll definitely feel like an uphill struggle as the Council will be very wary to assist you due to DPA and the Police will be unwilling to assist as it will mean more paperwork/time for them.

Sucks doesn't it?
