Teenage Boy Sustains Broken Jaw In Glengormley Attack
Police are appealing for witnesses after a teenage boy sustained a broken jaw after being assaulted in Glengormley, Co Antrim.
The 13-year-old boy also sustained facial fractures and lacerations to his head.
Another man who intervened suffered a fractured jaw and fractured shoulder.
SDLP Councillor Noreen McClelland condemned the attack.
She said: "I was shocked and disgusted to hear that a young teenage boy had been so brutally beaten in Glegormley on Sunday night. Those responsible for this savage attack broke his jaw, fractured his face and fractured the shoulder of another man who attempted to intervene.
"To attack a young man in such a vicious way is a disgusting criminal act. I would appeal to anyone who saw or heard anything in the area at around 9.15pm on Sunday night to come forward to police and help bring these thugs to justice."
