A 16-year-old boy was left in hospital with a broken jaw after reportedly being attacked by up to 10 young people at a Co Antrim train station.

On Saturday, August 21, police received a report that a 16-year-old male had been waiting at the train station in Whiteabbey when he was attacked by up to 10 young people and knocked unconscious.

During the assault, he sustained a broken jaw, which required hospital treatment.

In a statement released the following Thursday, August 26, officers appealed to the public for help.

Detective Sergeant Lyttle said: “Detectives are appealing to anyone who was in the area at the time, and may have witnessed this incident, or who has any information which could assist us with our enquiries, to call 101 quoting reference number 1117 of 23/08/21.”



A report can also be made online using the non-emergency reporting form.
