‘No space for bullies’ vow after attack on schoolboy, 11

Video of a schoolboy being attack in a park has sparked anger in the local community, with one man vowing “there is no space for bullies on our streets."

The 11-year-old was in Adlam Park in Fazakerley on Sunday, May 2 at around 5pm when he was approached by another schoolboy. The video shows him being held to the floor and kicked and later having to fend off further attacks.

The boy’s mum, 31, who asked for herself and her son not to be named when recently speaking to the ECHO, recalled how he was grabbed by the neck and kicked in the head by the boy despite, she claimed, telling him he "just wanted to have a game of football".
