Teenage boy badly hurt in e-scooter attack

A teenage boy has been badly hurt in an attack by a group of men while he was riding an e-scooter, police said.

Officers said the 17-year-old was assaulted on Dilmore Lane, Fernhill Heath, Worcestershire, on Saturday and fell off, suffering serious injuries to his abdomen.

He was taken to hospital but has since been discharged.

Det Insp Natalie Arrowsmith, from West Mercia Police, said officers were following several lines of enquiry to identify the men.

She added that they were keen to hear from anyone who was in the Dilmore Lane area at about 21:00 BST on Saturday or who might have dashcam footage of the incident.
