An 11-year-old boy was left with blisters covering his face, hands and legs after an unprovoked assault. Ethan Warburton was also knocked unconscious in the shocking, unprovoked attack.
Ethan was walking in Orford Park, Warrington, at around 4.30pm on Thursday, March 16, when he was struck from behind, punched and kicked by two unknown males. The violent assault left the youngster with suspected chemical burns. However, Cheshire police said they believed the injuries "had not been caused by any liquid".
His mum Louise, 39, told the Liverpool Echo: "As he was walking, he felt he was kicked in the back. He was kicked and punched while he was on the ground, and when he came round, he felt like his face was burning. All he remembers is that one was on a bike and the other was on an electric scooter. He can't remember much after they attacked him from behind, but he suffered burns to his face, his hands and the back of his legs.
