The attack happened on Marlborough Road in Hadley at about 9.45pm on Saturday.

A 13-year-old boy was walking along the street with three friends when a man on a bike began cycling alongside them.

Just after, the group was approached by two other men, who asked the victim to empty his pockets.

The victim did not respond and the suspects are said to have assaulted him at which point he emptied his pockets and handed over a quantity of cash.

The victim suffered minor injuries and ran off while the suspects left in an unknown direction.

Enquiries are ongoing but officers believe a member of public may have come out of their house during the incident and officers are keen to speak to them.

Officers would also like anyone else who witnessed the incident, or who saw anyone acting suspiciously in the area at the time to come forward.

Anyone with information should call police on 101 or Crimestoppers anonymously on 0800 555111 quoting incident number 860S of August 26.
