A SCHOOLBOY suffered cuts and bruises after he was attacked unprovoked by a gang of youths at a fair, say police.

The 15-year-old, from Swanley, had just arrived at the fair in Central Park, Dartford, via Cranford Road, when he noticed a group of around 15 teenagers.

One of them approached him and punched him in the face.

Around six of the group then joined in with the assault, which also left the victim with a chipped tooth.

He did not require hospital treatment.

Police say this was an unprovoked assault which happened on March 31 at around 6.55pm.

The main offender was described as an Asian male, aged 15 or 16 years old, with very short dark hair and a large mole on the right side of his face.

He was wearing a grey tracksuit top with a hood and grey tracksuit trousers.

A second offender was a black male, 15 or 16 years of age wearing a dark grey woollen hat, a dark-coloured hooded top, grey tracksuit trousers and black trainers.

The rest of the group have been described as mainly of Asian appearance by police.

Anyone with information should call DC Richard Debnam on 01474 565224 or Kent Crimestoppers on 0800 555111.
