Assault on schoolboy in Leigh

11:51am Monday 7th January 2013 in Southend By David Trayner

A MAN assaulted a young boy as he walked home from school.

The man, believed to be in his 60s, grabbed the 12-year-old boy by the throat and pinned him against a fence in Eastwood Road North, Leigh, on December 12.

The boy, who lives locally, was walking home at about 3.30pm when the man described as stocky, about 5ft 5 to 6in tall with grey hair and wearing blue jeans, approached him.

The boy was unharmed but badly shaken.

Police only released the information today.

Anyone with information should contact PC Nicola Saunders at the Rayleigh Area Investigation Team on 101.

Whats the whole story ? Why has it took a Month ? Was the boy a bully ? Did parents or grandparents think the school dismissed them reporting this boy for bullying ? Did a parent tell the kid to stop bullying to scare him ? Is this story true or could it have been made up ? Why after a month are we getting this story ?

If its true then no adult was entitled to man handle this boy.

Come on echo, tell us more !
