The mother of a young boy who was attacked while cycling to his local shop, has spoken out about his ordeal.
On Saturday night, Lynsey Conolly's 15-year-old son was going to a nearby shop through Dunleath Park in Downpatrick when she says he was assaulted by one individual, which turned into a group attack.
Speaking to Belfast Live, Lynsey says her son is now "petrified to leave the house" and has been having nightmares. She found her son at a pizza shop in the town, bloody faced and cut open.
