Four men wearing masks attacked the teen on Tuesday night
A teenager has been hospitalised after suffering serious head injuries following an attack in a Burnley Park.
In an appeal made today, Lancashire Police said:
“We are asking for your help after a 15-year-old boy was left with a serious head injury after being assaulted in Burnley.
It happened on Faraday Park at around 8.30pm on Tuesday when the victim was approached and assaulted by four males wearing masks.
Unfortunately, we don’t have any further descriptions at this time.
The victim was taken to hospital where he remains in a serious condition.
We have carried out a number of enquiries to identify those involved and we are now asking any witnesses or anyone who saw anything suspicious in the area at that time to contact us.
We are particularly keen to hear from anyone with CCTV, doorbell or dashcam footage in and around Faraday Park between 8pm and 9pm which could have potentially captured the individuals involved.
Although this is being treated as an isolated incident, we have increased reassurance patrols in the area as a precaution.
If you have any information which could help us, email or call 101. Quote log 0067 of 23rd October 2024.:
