70-year-old man injured by youths

Police call for witnesses to Friday assaults

Witnesses are called on to come forward after a 70-year-old man was injured by youths in Peel.

A group of young people were seen punching and kicking a bus stop shelter on Derby Road on Friday at around 9:35pm.

Two members of the public intervened to put a stop to it.

Both were verbally and physically assaulted - which led to one of the suspects being arrested that evening.

Police say recently, a 'minority of youths' in the area are causing 'upset and damage'.

The Western Neighbourhood Policing Team asks anyone who saw what happened to call 842 208 - as it looks to identify others involved.
