A 15-YEAR-OLD boy has been left extremely shaken after being attacked by two men in Wallasey.
At around 8pm yesterday (Sunday, February 24) the teenager was walking through Central Park when two men approached him.
One of the men threatened the boy with a baseball bat.
The boy suffered injuries to his nose, right wrist and hand.
Detectives are urging any witnesses to come forward.
Inspector Paul Harrison said: "For a young teenager to be attacked in this way is totally unacceptable and we would appeal to anyone with any information, no matter how small, to come forward and help us with our investigation.
"If you were in the park or nearby and saw this incident, please get in touch.
“There is no place in our communities for threatening behaviour and the use of weapons, so help us keep the green spaces of Wirral for what they are intended: places to walk, play, exercise and enjoy.”
Anyone with information is asked to contact Merseyside Police on social media via @MerPolCC, call 101 with reference 19100072872 or call Crimestoppers anonymously on 0800 555 111.
