Teenager Seriously Attacked After Belfast Gig
Police are appealing for information after a teenager could be left partially blinded following a serious attack after a concert in Belfast.
The 16-year-old boy sustained a rip to the back of one eye, a shattered cheekbone and dislocated nose.
The assault happened on the Boucher Road at around midnight.
The victim and his girlfriend were making their way to get a bus home when he was attacked, according to the police.
Detectives would like to speak to a white man in his late teens who was seen standing on the steps of a white bus, wearing denim shorts and no top. The man is described as having short dark hair, average build and height and a Northern Irish accent.
Detective Inspector Richard Thornton said: "It is reported that following a verbal exchange, this male kicked and punched the 16-year-old in the face, before another four men got out of the bus and became involved in the assault."
