Boy, 14, assaulted at Mablethorpe skate park

Police are appealing for information after a 14-year-old boy was assaulted at a skate park in Mablethorpe.

Officers said the boy was kicked and punched by another teenager during the attack on Friday evening.

PC Nathan Price said it was an "awful" incident and the victim was "lucky to have walked away with injuries that he'll recover from".

Lincolnshire Police said it is thought about 30 people were present at the Quebec Road site but none had come forward to speak.

PC Price said: "Sadly, of all the people in the area at the time, not one has talked to us or proactively given us any information.

"That's a crying shame because we really need to investigate the exact details of this incident and hold those to account who need to be," he continued.

The officer also appealed to parents to get in touch with police.

"Was your child in the skatepark on Friday night? If so, it's likely they saw this incident," he said.

"Please talk to your son or daughter and encourage them to talk to us. If the situation was reversed, we are sure that any parent would want to see the person who harmed their child held to account."
