Boy, 14, injured in unprovoked attack

At around 9.30pm on Saturday, December 13, the victim was walking home over Millennium Bridge, Lancaster when he was chatted to by two youths of a similar age.

One of them is believed to have then struck him from behind causing him to fall forwards and sustain injuries to his face, as well as breaking and chipping his front teeth.

The first youth was white, approximately 5ft 7in, slim build, aged around 14 to 15 years old, with black, shiny hair to one side.

He was wearing a darkish-grey fleecy hoody and dark tracksuit bottoms.

The second youth was white, approximately 5ft 7in, medium build with a rounded face, aged around 14 to 15 years with light brown/blonde hair.

He possibly had his hood up and was wearing a darkish top.
