Teen Brutally Attacked on Isle of Sheppey High Street – Airlifted to London Hospital
Police in Kent have launched a frantic manhunt after a 16-year-old Sheerness college student was viciously attacked while riding his bike on High Street. The shocking assault happened just before midday on Wednesday, as the teen pulled off a wheelie.
Teen Punched and Stamped on in Shocking Attack
The boy was punched off his bike and then repeatedly stamped on the head by a brutish man described as “fat.” The attacker fled the scene in a car, leaving the teen with serious head injuries. The terrifying assault was caught on nearby shop CCTV and is now being closely reviewed by detectives.
Father Pleads for Attacker to Surrender
The victim’s father, who wishes to remain anonymous, told us: “We first heard about this from our older son who saw the whole thing on the busy High Street. I thought he was at college.”
He added a fierce warning to the culprit: “We know who you are. Hand yourself in and deal with this like a man. The police will be coming for you.”
Hospital Battle and Police Response
A local mechanic, who survived his own violent attack 12 years ago, described the grim scene: “They airlifted him with tubes everywhere and put him to sleep before taking him to Kings College Hospital in London. I saw him leave in the air ambulance.”
Kent Police confirmed a man in his 20s has been arrested for grievous bodily harm. Officers continue to question witnesses and comb through CCTV footage. Forensic teams remain at the High Street scene as the investigation intensifies.
