REAL NEWS: Youth on youth violence continues unabated, with an assault on two teenagers being investigated by the Police.
Reports say that a 19-year-old Nut Grove victim telephoned the Grays Farm Police Station and complained that, while walking to a village shop with his friend – a 17-year-old of the same address – they were assaulted by two young men, one of whom was armed with what appeared to be a flare gun.
One of the alleged offenders is said to be known by the name “Anthony.” While the victim does not know the other youth, he says he could identify him if he sees him again.
The victims reportedly were walking past the trouble makers; but “Anthony” allegedly walked into the path of the complainant’s friend and brushed against him.
As a result, the two began to argue, and then the 17-year-old walked away and went to the shop.
However, while walking back home, they again met up with the two alleged aggressors, who had armed themselves with stones and were coming towards the pair of friends.
At that time, reportedly, the 17-year-old also armed himself with a stone, while “Anthony” pulled an object – believed to be a flare gun – from his pants waist and pointed it in their direction.
Immediately after, the victim said, he heard a loud explosion, and the two perpetrators ran in an eastern direction. This offence reportedly occurred at about 8:30 p.m. on June 21 at Nut Grove.
