A 10-year-old boy was struck on the back of his head with a glass bottle by "two girls" as he walked home from primary school.
The incident occurred on Alford Street, Fairfield, at around 3.20pm on Tuesday, December 20. The boy's mum told the ECHO he was walking with friends when the girls, who are around the same age and who he knew, tried to get his attention.
She said: "He's a handsome lad and these girls are always trying to get attention from him, but he's not interested in that. He says he's too young and he doesn't want a girlfriend.
