A member of the public intervened and the suspects, who were wearing masks, fled empty-handed in the direction of Lowmoor Road. One of the suspects had dark hair, a dark blue top and dark trainers while the other had a shaved head and was wearing a dark blue tracksuit.They are both believed to be teenagers and may have left the area on foot.
“While the injuries the boy sustained from the attack were not serious, the emotional scars were. No one should have their valuables taken from them by force and that is why we treat every report of robbery and attempted robbery extremely seriously.
