Police are searching for a good Samaritan who intervened to stop an assault on a 14-year-old boy in Sheffield.

At 2.30pm on March 10, three teenage friends were walking along Mickley Lane, Totley, when they were approached by two others. Unprovoked, one of the two who approached the friends is said to have punched a 14 year-old boy in the mouth, leaving him with damage to his teeth and nerves.

It was then that a member of the public - a man - acted as a Good Samaritan and stepped in to stop the altercation.
