A 16-year-old boy has been left with a fractured jaw after being attacked while on holiday with his family in Blackpool.
The boy was said to be enjoying a family trip to the seaside resort in Lancashire over the Bank Holiday weekend when he was attacked.
He was on Blackpool Promenade at around 11.20pm on August 25 when a man ran past him close to Coral Island, punching him in the face as he ran past him.
The teenager was left with a jaw that was fractured in two places.
DC Matt Moore from Blackpool CID said: “This was an utterly appalling attack on a boy who was simply enjoying a family holiday. He has since returned to Nottingham with serious injuries to his jaw.
