Just after 9.25am on Tuesday, 8 November, a 12-year-old lad was waiting for the bus outside Millbrook Towers on Windermere Avenue when trouble struck.

A man suddenly grabbed the boy’s arm from behind and snarled, “Come with me.” But the boy wasn’t having it. He punched the man in the ribs, making him let go.
