Boy attacked in bike robbery

11:15am Friday 9th May 2008

A 14-year-old boy was attacked and his BMX stolen when he was playing with friends in Bradford.

The group was approached while riding bikes on the BMX track at Peel Park in Cliffe Road.

Three Asian males in their late teens demanded the boy hand over his orange BMX Kobe ZuZu, and when the boy refused he was punched in the face and knocked to the ground.

The attackers escaped with the bike.
