Police are appealing for witnesses after a 13-year-old boy was allegedly smashed over the head with a bottle and robbed in the street. The teenager was riding his e-scooter down an alleyway between Beckhampton Road and Chediston Vale, Bestwood, when he was targeted by three men.
One man reportedly grabbed the victim by his neck and another struck him over the back of the head with a bottle, causing him to fall to the floor. While on the floor, the teenager was kicked and had his pockets emptied by the three offenders.
The robbers reportedly stole the e-scooter, a mobile phone, bank card and headphones before fleeing the scene in different directions at around 6pm on March 4. The victim was able to contact a friend who called him a taxi but he later needed hospital treatment for his injuries.
