Police are looking for two young boys who assaulted a nine year old girl on a Wigan playing field.
The girl was playing on the football pitches at the bottom of Caunce Road in the Scholes area on Tuesday when she was approached by an unknown boy, believed to be between the ages of 11 and 13. He pinned her arm against a fence and struck it with an unknown object, breaking her arm in two places.
Following the assault, the boy ran off towards a wooded area, which leads to Rose Bridge High School, and, at this point, he was joined by another youth, who was wearing blue shorts.
The offender is described as being approximately 4ft tall, of chubby build, with dark coloured hair, short at the back and sides with a longer ‘flick’ at the front. He spoke with an accent that wasn’t local to the Wigan area. At the time of incident, he was wearing a dark coloured tracksuit.
