“Sorry, sir.” Ragtag boys rushed past like pigeons flushed from the bush, coshing people’s suitcases into their knees.

A cosh is literally a short heavy stick (shorter than a baton) which is used for hitting people over the head and knocking them unconscious. So that's the image I have when I read "coshing".
