Two teens and a man arrested after incident in Gloucester

Two teenage boys and a man have been arrested in connection with an incident in Tuffley, Gloucester yesterday, Sunday 17 November.

At around 5.45pm police were called with a report that a group of males who had been on bikes and scooters attacked a 14-year-old boy on Golden Close.

Officers attended, including armed police and with support from the National Police Air Service, and there was a comprehensive search to try and locate the offenders.

The victim was taken to hospital by paramedics with a head wound and leg injuries. He remains there today (Monday).

The group involved were described as wearing face coverings, dark clothing and backpacks. After the attack they fled in the direction of Homeleigh Park.
