Avon and Somerset Police are appealing for witnesses after a 12-year-old boy was assaulted during an incident in a Taunton park.
Avon and Somerset Police said:
“The boy was on his pushbike in Lyngford Park, at about 13:00 on Tuesday 24 October, when he was approached by two other boys and assaulted.
The boys tried to take his helmet and gloves, but two other people intervened and returned his belongings.
The victim was then approached by one of the suspects in Grange Drive, and he was assaulted again.
This time a man on a pushbike intervened and helped the victim.
Thankfully, he didn’t receive any serious injuries in either of the incidents.”
The members of the public who helped the victim in the park or the man who came to his aid in Grange Drive are urged to come forward and help the police with their investigation by calling 101 and giving the call handler the reference number 5223261160.
