Man and teenager assaulted in Telford park
A 13-year-old boy and a man in his 50s were both injured after being assaulted in a Telford park.
Officers from West Mercia Police are investigating a report of two assaults in the park in Woodcroft, Woodside on April 29.
The first incident involved a 13-year-old boy who was in the park with two friends at around 2.40pm last Saturday when he was approached by a group.
One of the group is reported to have hit the victim causing injuries to his face and shoulder.
