A TEENAGER was attacked by two young robbers who pushed him off his bike and then stole it as he rode over a field.
The 14 year old boy was riding near the back of McDonalds Drive Thru on St Helens Linkway at 1pm on Saturday, March 27 when he was approached by the two youths, one of whom was carrying a piece of copper piping. The victim was pushed off the bike and threatened with the piping before one of the youths climbed on it and the pair made their escape.
Both the attackers were white and aged 14 or 15 years and the one with the piping was about 5ft 8ins tall with short, mousy hair and wore a red jumper. The other was 5ft 6ins tall with short, shaven blond hair and wearing a black jumper and blue jeans. The bike was a blue Raleigh Max mountain bike with a black bike chain and was valued at £200.
