Teenager hit with bottle and robbed in Nottingham alley

A 13-year-old boy was attacked and robbed in an alley, police have said.

Nottinghamshire Police said the teen was riding an e-scooter between Beckhampton Road and Chediston Vale in Bestwood when he was stopped by three men at about 18:00 GMT on 4 March.

The force said one man grabbed the boy by his neck and another struck him over the back of the head with a bottle.

Appealing for witnesses, it said the teen was also kicked while on the floor and had his pockets emptied by the men.

A force representative said the men took the boy's e-scooter, a mobile phone, a bank card and a pair of headphones before fleeing the scene.

They said the boy was able to contact a friend, who called him a taxi, but he later needed hospital treatment for his injuries.

They added that anyone with information about the theft should come forward.
