Teenagers kicked and punched by trio in attack

The 19-year-olds from Bentley were walking across the bridge, which used to be the town’s main crossing over the River Don, heading out of town when three men approached them calling them names.

They were then punched and kicked several times near the Dolland and Aitchison opticians.

One of the victims suffered injuries to his leg and elbow and also sustained facial cuts. The other had a tooth knocked out and received facial injuries.

Both men went to the Doncaster Royal Infirmary.

Police today issued a description of the suspects they believe to have been involved.

The first man was white, with short dark hair, and sun tanned.

The second was white, wearing a tracksuit.

The third male was also white and was wearing a hooped earring in his left ear.

All three were in their late teens or early 20s.

Anyone with information on the attack, on Saturday July 28 at 12.45am, should call PC Sarah Smith on 01302 385044 or Crimestoppers on 0800 555111.
