A TEENAGER was left with a black eye and cut lip after he was attacked in the snow.

The 13-year-old boy was larking in the snow near to the Esso Garage in Mulfords Hill, Tadley, shortly before 6pm on Saturday, (January 19).

Members of the group were throwing snowballs and it’s believed one of them may have hit a passing car.

The boy then became separated from his friends and was assaulted by an unknown man who grabbed him and punched him in the face a number of times.

The man is described as white, in his mid 20s, and between 5ft 10ins and 6ft. He was of slim build and had a shaved head with a blond mohawk hairstyle. He was wearing a black jacket, dark coloured jeans and white trainers. And it is believed he got out of a blue Audi A3 car.

Anyone with any information is asked to contact PC Erin Davis at Basingstoke Police Station on 101 or call the charity Crimestoppers line on 0800 555 111 where information can be left anonymously.
