Police Appeal for Witnesses and White Van Driver
“This violent attack has left a teenage boy in hospital with very serious injuries,” said Detective Inspector Yasser Awad. “I believe there may be people who saw what happened but have not yet spoken with police. The attack took place in a residential area and many people will have been at home due to the lockdown. If you heard a commotion or saw anything suspicious, we want to hear from you.
“In particular, we want to speak to the driver of a white van on Henry Road between 6.15pm and 6.20pm that evening. We believe the driver may have vital information.”
