Dad accuses police of inaction after horrific video emerges on social media of boy, 13, being kicked in the face
The father of a 13-year-old boy set upon and kicked in the face by a gang of youths has criticised police for not taking swift action.
The young boy, who does not want to be identified, was riding his BMX with a friend in the Corbett Wood and Crofters Hill Area of Shrewsbury on Tuesday afternoon after school when the incident happened.
A gang of six or seven youths, who were known to the boy, accosted the 13-year-old.
He was thrown to the floor and kicked in the face by one of the boys.
The boy, who has ADHD, was taken to hospital where he was diagnosed with a suspected broken nose, but the father of the boy said that despite repeated calls to West Mercia Police, no action was taken.
