Boy, 13, punched in robbery bid
We’re appealing for witnesses, footage and information after a teenage boy reportedly punched another boy in an attempt to steal his bicycle.
It happened at about 3.30pm on Sunday 4 August in Briar Way, Fishponds, and was reported to police the following day.
A 13-year-old boy told officers he was stopped while cycling by another boy who demanded his push bike and punched him in the face, causing bruising.
Thankfully the 13-year-old was able to cycle away.
The suspect is described as aged 14 or 15 and of mixed heritage appearance with black curly hair. He was wearing a black and grey jumper, grey trousers and black trainers.
We’d like to hear from anyone with any footage or information.
