? Can't tell where noise is coming from or is it the hub?

[pawl]

You forgot the question mark at the end.

???????? Take your pick.

 

[Randombiker9]

Yes. I suffered similar noises that you're describing after one of my front pads fell out. This meant that the piston on that side came into direct contact with the disc during braking.
(The cause of the detached pad was the mechanic at H.alfords forgetting to install the split pin. Idiot.) There's a slim possibility that the teen dislodged yours when he kicked the bike. Have you checked that all pads are present?

Thanks I’ll check when I’m back home but can that cause the wheel to get stuck as well then? Because when the wheel tries to spin it also makes that noise. Although it gets stuck halfway through the spin. Also where exactly are the pads in disc brakes?

Sounds like the wheel or brake rotor is binding somewhere, it should spin freely, if it doesn't then there is something wrong. Take the wheel out, and re-seat it see if that solves the problem. Also look at the wheel when it's spinning, is there any lateral motion? When the wheel stops it's spin is the tyre touching the frame anywhere? Look inside the disc caliper there should be space between the disc pad and the rotor on both sides, is this the case?

 

[Smokin Joe]

It sounds like a warped disc if it sticks half way through the spin. The location of the pads is self explanatory, they are the bits that squeeze against the disc when you pull the lever.

where exactly are the pads in disc brakes?

There are 4, one on each side of the 2 (ie front and rear) discs, centred about 10mm less than the radii of the discs.

You will see a similar arrangement on your bike as shown in the picture below.
The pads are indicated by the yellow arrows and should be secured in place by a split pin or safety bolt (arrowed in red).
Bear in mind that your pads my be more difficult to see than the high contrast example I've chosen. My own pads are black, inside a black caliper.

got wheel back spinning not getting stuck but now the wheel still makes a noise sounds like it's catching on something when it's not the disc

 

[Cycleops]

As @Smokin Joe says could be the disc got damaged when you got bashed. Spin the wheel to check.

Sorry, it's really difficult to follow what you are doing because your description is so confusing.

Are the pads all present?

If the pads are ok, and the disc isn't warped, take the back wheel off and spin it holding the axle/skewer, is the noise still there?

How about taking it back to the shop which looked at the other issue recently?

I would but that shop is back in town and buses don't allow bikes and its not walking distance the closest bike shop is Halfords. (Which is walking distance) . But according to their website their all booked up this week and i don't drive. Cycling (sometimes buses) is the main way i get around

Is the bike actually unrideable then?

You could take the wheel off and on the bus if the wheel or disc is the probable culprit

You could call the shop and see if they could fit you in, don’t rely on a website to be up to date
Ask someone you know with a car to give you and the bike a lift? taxi?

Or take it to Halfords if town is too far to walk and none of the above are possible

The collective experts above aren’t clear on what the issue is and you aren’t able to figure it out, so at some point you’ll need to get tne bike to a shop if you want to ride it again. Which is exactly what I would do

 

[Smokin Joe]

A few photos would help and a video would be even better. Why don't you get it on film and upload it?

 

[Globalti]

Why not just walk with it to Halfords and ask nicely if somebody could just have a quick look at it?

I rember the axel broke on my old Carlton years ago and while the bike was stationary the back wheel was perfectly aligned but as soon as I started to pedal the back wheel twisted and the tyre rubbed against the frame.
