Group Of Teens Attack Cyclist In Horsham Park

Police are appealing for witnesses after a man was pushed off his bike and assaulted by a group in Horsham Park.

The victim was riding his bike in the park on Sunday, October 16 just before 5pm, when he was pushed off it onto the ground and punched and kicked by a gang he describes as being between 15 and 18 years old.

After getting to his feet, he was chased by the group who then assaulted him for a second time. 

Members of the public came to the aid of the victim, causing the group to run off in the direction of the Kaya in the Park restaurant. 

The man was taken to hospital with numerous facial injuries. He has since been discharged.

Enquiries are continuing and it is believed a witness may have filmed the incident on their mobile phone. Officers are particularly eager for this person to come forward.

Any relevant information or footage can be reported to police online, or via calling 101, quoting serial 902 of 16/10.
