Officers investigating an assault in Christchurch are appealing for a potential witness and anyone with information to come forward.
The incident occurred at around 4.20pm on Sunday 20 November 2022 in the park off Sopers Lane, opposite the car park at the rear of Marks and Spencer.
Two boys – aged 15 and 16 – were with some friends when they were approached by a group of young people aged between 12 and 16 years old wearing masks.
The group asked what school the victims were in, before an altercation arose and both boys were assaulted, causing minor head injuries to both victims. Both boys attended hospital for treatment.
Police Constable Alexandra Donnelly, of Christchurch police, said: “I understand a member of the public witnessed what happened from the car park and spoke to the two boys after the incident in Marks and Spencer. I would ask them to please come forward as they may have important information to help my investigation.
“I would also urge anyone with information about who was responsible to please contact Dorset Police.”
