Detectives investigating a report of an assault in Sherborne are appealing for witnesses or anyone with information to come forward – with four people arrested.
It is reported that at around 5.30pm on Friday 15 July 2022 a 14-year-old local boy was assaulted by a group of male teenagers in Pageant Gardens in Station Road.
The victim attended hospital for treatment to a fractured jaw and a chipped tooth, as well as cuts and bruises.
Following enquiries, two 13-year-old boys from Sherborne and two boys from Yeovil, also aged 13, were arrested on suspicion of racially or religiously aggravated grievous bodily harm. They have all been released on police bail while the investigation continues.
