| Brick-wielding gang attack teen |
YOUTHS armed with bricks
and stones attacked a 17-year-old dog owner in front of his
girlfriend in Hampstead last Tuesday.
The attack, which began outside Fleet Road Supermarket and
carried on into Dunboyne Road, South End Green, left the teenager
needing eight stitches to his head.
It came just two weeks after staff at a nearby off-licence
warned that gangs of youths were running amok. Last week’s
assault began after the youths goaded two dogs belonging to
the victim outside the supermarket.
When the owner told them to stop annoying the dogs, they threw
stones, bricks and breadbaskets and dropped paving on him
from an overlooking balcony.
The victim was picked up and dropped and repeatedly kicked
in the head as his girlfriend, also 17, looked on and screamed.
Witnesses estimated the gang members were aged 14 or 15. They
had fled by the time police arrived. The victim was treated
at nearby Royal Free Hospital and later released.
A series of incidents a quarter of a mile away at Unwins off-licence
in Mansfield Road, Gospel Oak, prompted appeals for better
policing last month. |
