Teenage yobs sprayed a substance in the face of a terrified mum and threw concrete at her.
The 61-year-old, from Felling, Gateshead, was walking along a pathway near Pelaw Metro Station at around 12pm on Monday afternoon when she was approached by two male youths, aged around 13 or 14.
One of the teenagers reportedly used a small spray bottle to spray a substance into her face and continued to do so when she asked him to stop. He allegedly made abusive comments before picking up a lump of concrete and throwing it at her cheekbone.
