A man was brutally attacked and kicked in the head by two teenagers on a popular beach. The horrific assault occurred on Crinnis Beach, which is now part of Carlyon Bay, in Cornwall, on April 11 between 5.45pm and 6.30pm. The victim was confronted by two youths and verbally assaulted. He was then savagely kicked in the head multiple times by the youths. The assault was so violent, the victim lost consciousness.
A heroic woman stepped in to help the victim after the assault. He was taken to hospital but fortunately his injuries are neither life-changing nor life-threatening. Devon and Cornwall Police are now urging witnesses, particularly the woman who assisted the man, to come forward.
Devon and Cornwall Police stated: “Officers investigating the incident are keen to hear from anybody who may have witnessed it, especially a woman who came to the aid of the victim.”, reports Cornwall Live.
“Anybody with information should contact us on 101 or via our website quoting 50250091265.”
The horrific attack comes after a schoolgirl was beaten up and dragged unconscious by a group of teenage thugs in a park after she was targeted at a bus stop and led to a field.
Hope Lyden, 13, was filmed being punched and kicked by several girls, who used “her head as a football” in Erskine, Scotland. She was later found with “clumps of her hair pulled from her skull.”
Hope was pounced on as she stood chatting to her pal at a bus stop on Friday night. Her mother Katrina explained that she was approached by a random girl who began to pick a fight. The girl accused her of speaking about her before another girl approached her and said she would help her “get away”. But as they reached a nearby field, Hope suffered a sudden blow to the back of her head – leaving her unconscious.
Sickening footage, which has since gone viral online, showed three girls beating her after she was knocked to the ground. Dozens of onlookers could be heard laughing as they stood filming the incident on their phones.
Katrina, 37, from Clydebank, told the Daily Record: “Hope phoned me and all I could hear was her screaming. She was frantic. It was horrific. I could hear the kicks and thuds.
“She screamed again, but then there was nothing else from her. I could hear loads of girls’ voices but couldn’t make out what they were saying. I eventually managed to get to speak to one of Hope’s friends who told me there was a group of girls laying into her and that she looked unconscious.”
Hope was taken to the Queen Elizabeth University Hospital in Glasgow where she was treated for concussion, a suspected broken nose and a burst mouth. The horrifying incident has since been reported to Police Scotland, who confirmed an investigation has been launched.
