Police have arrested two people after a teenage schoolboy was seriously assaulted in Fleetwood.

The 16-year-old victim was attacked after he left Cardinal Allen School shortly before 2pm on Tuesday afternoon.

He was pushed off his bike and attacked by two offenders who punched and kicked him to the head causing a bruised right eye and a badly broken jaw. He was taken to hospital for treatment.

Following enquiries, police have arrested two boys aged 14 and 16 on suspicion of assault.

They have now been bailed while investigations continue.

Insp Martin Wyatt, of Wyre Police, said: “This was a serious assault on a young man who has suffered some really significant injuries. I would like to reassure people that we are treating this extremely seriously and we have already made two arrests. Our enquiries are ongoing, and we are working closely with the school and other partners.

“We have extra officers out and about in the area so If anyone has any information about what happened, or has any concerns, I would urge them to speak to an officer or to give us a call.”
