The attack happened in a park off Westfaling Street

A 14-year-old boy has been kicked and hit by a group of young people in Hereford, in what police have described as a racially-aggravated attack.

The teenager was attacked in a park area off Westfaling Street by a group who also used racial slurs to verbally abuse him.

Police said the group behind the attack, which happened at about 20:50 BST on 17 May, was thought to include 10 to 15 boys of a similar age to the boy.

Officers, who are appealing for witnesses, said one of the group was believed to be wearing a pink jacket and blue jeans. Police said the boy who was attacked was not injured.
