Avon & Somerset Police are appealing for witnesses and any available CCTV or dash-cam footage following an assault on a group of boys in Yate on Boxing Day. The incident occurred just before 7.30pm on Tuesday, December 26, near the Shell Petrol Station on Westerleigh Road.
Six boys, aged between 12 and 15, were walking along the road when a car pulled up. A man exited the vehicle and sprayed an irritant substance, resembling pepper spray, at the boys before hastily driving away.
