Appeal following assault in Blaby
Police are appealing for witnesses following the report of an assault in Northfields Park, Leicester Road, Blaby.
The incident happened at around 10.30pm on Friday August 14, when the 17-year-old victim and his four friends were approached by a group of around 20 youths.
The victim was threatened by one of the youths, who then hit him.
At this point he ran from the park with his friends into Blaby town centre.
The victim received an injury to his jaw as a result of the assault and attended the Leicester Royal Infirmary for treatment.
The suspect is described as white boy, aged between 16 and 17-years old, around 6ft tall and of a slim build. He had short, dark brown hair, a black eye and a cut to his left cheek. He was wearing black Nike trainers, light denim jeans and a dark blue tracksuit top.
PC Alex Goldsmith, the officer investigating the incident, said: The young victim was in extreme pain and required surgery to his jaw.
We want people who were in the area near to Northfields Park in Blaby on Friday night to think back. Can you remember seeing a large group of youths in the area? Do you know any of them? Were you part of the group and did you witness the assault?
We would also like to appeal to people who may know the suspect. If you know someone matching the description that has recently received a black eye and a cut to his left cheek we would like to hear from you.
