Bracknell

Police are appealing for witnesses after an attempted robbery in Bracknell last week.

At 9.15pm on Monday 2 March, a 14-year-old boy was walking alone in Bullbrook, Bracknell. When he reached the grass area just by the bridge on Calfridus Way, he was approached by two youths in their mid teens.

The youths demanded that he hand over his mobile phone. When he refused they both punched him, causing facial cuts and bruises.

The teenager defended himself by punching one of the robbers, who both fled empty-handed.

Both Bracknell offenders are white, aged about 14, medium build and 5ft 3ins to 5 ft 4ins tall. One has blond spiky hair and a diamond ear stud in his left ear. He was wearing a beige and blue jacket and dark tracksuit bottoms and was carrying a gym bag. The other youth had short black hair and was wearing a green and blue Adidas hooded top. He also had a diamond stud earring in his left ear.
