15-year-old assaulted on Spinney Hill Park
Police are appealing for witnesses following the report of an assault in the Spinney Hill area of Leicester.
The incident happened at around 6.45pm on Saturday July 18, when a man became involved in an altercation with a group of youths.
The victim, a 15-year-old boy, witnessed the altercation and attempted to intervene in the disagreement.
The man then turned to the boy and assaulted him.
The man then ran off down Gwendolin Road and along Dorothy Road.
The victim received injuries to his face and shoulder and was taken to the Leicester Royal Infirmary for treatment. He has since been discharged.
The suspect is described as black, around 5’7” tall and aged between 30 and 35-years-old. He had black braded hair with white beads on the end and was of a clean shaven appearance. He was wearing a black and white hooded top with a picture on the back, black jeans and a white chain around his neck that had the letter “S” attached to it.
PC Lee Sands, the officer investigating the incident, said: “The victim does not appear to have been part of the original altercation but tried to intervene and was then assaulted.
“We believe that a number of the youths involved followed the man when he left the park. This would have been very noticeable to any witnesses who were in the area.
“If you can remember seeing this or you were a witness to the incident itself, we want to hear from you.
“The altercation would have been quite loud so if you were on the park you could have been distracted by the shouting and may have seen something vital to our investigation.
“Any information you have on the assault or those involved we want to hear, no matter how insignificant it may seem.”
Anybody with any information is asked to contact PC 1429 Lee Sands on Leicester (0116) 222 2222, follow the instructions to leave a message for a police officer and when prompted key in the officer's identification number 1429. Alternatively contact Crimestoppers, which is free* and anonymous on 0800 555 111.
