POLICE are investigating after a 15-year-old schoolboy was assaulted by a gang of youths in Kendal.
The pupil was walking along Finkle Street at noon on Tuesday (February 13) when around eight youths, all wearing baseball caps, set upon him in an unprovoked attack.
The victim was punched in the eye but managed to escape after kicking out at his attackers.
Police say the suspects were aged 15-16 and were wearing tracksuits. One of the group had a blackened left eye while another had a cut above one eye.
Anyone with information is asked to contact Kendal Police on 0845-3300247.
