Scottish schoolboy, 7, left with gaping head wound after violent attack at park

A Scottish schoolboy was left with a gaping head wound after he was attacked in a play park by an older teenage boy.

Colleen Rae has spoken out after her son Larry, seven, was violently attacked near his home in Ferryden, Montrose, on Monday. Colleen says her son was set upon by a teenage boy and fears what type of adult violent youths will become.

The thug reportedly smashed Larry's head against a metal railing, splitting his scalp open and causing it to pour with blood. Larry was later rushed to hospital to have the wound glued shut by doctors.
