Police have appealed for witnesses after a foreign student was assaulted in Torquay last week.

The incident happened in the grounds on Torre Abbey on Wednesday, 21st June between 8pm and 9.15pm.

The victim, a 15-year-old boy, was head butted whilst he played a game of football.

“I am appealing for witnesses to come forward to assist in the identification of the offender.”
