Young males seen throwing rocks into the water

A young girl swimming by Fenella Beach had to be taken to Noble's Hospital yesterday with a head injury after being hit by a stone.

Witnesses say a group of young males were seen by Peel Castle throwing rocks into the water around the time of the incident.

The girl is now resting at home, however, police warn this incident could have ended up 'a lot worse'.

Officers are appealing for anyone in the area at around 2:25pm yesterday afternoon to help identify the males.
