Sutton Police are appealing for information following a racially aggravated assault on two Asian brothers aged 13 and 14 who were attacked whilst playing football on the St Helier Open Space on Thursday, 4 February at around 18:00hrs.
When the brothers went to retrieve their ball, they were abused and spat at by a group of seven white males aged 14-16 approx who had been sitting on a bench close to the junction of Wrythe Lane and Robertsbridge Road.
One member of the group hit one brother in the neck and then punched the other brother in the face causing a cut to his lip and soreness to his teeth and causing him to fall to the floor where the group members tried to run over him with their mountain bikes.
As the other brother went to use his mobile phone to call police, one of the suspects took his phone and threw it on the ground causing slight damage to the phone.
The suspects are described as white males. They were wearing dark hooded tops with their hoods up, except one who had blond hair. They made off towards Tweeddale Road and onwards to Middleton Road.
