Barrow Park. LES DOUGLAS
POLICE are investigating after a 13-year-old girl was subjected to a "vicious attack" in Barrow Park.
The incident happened at around 3.30pm yesterday afternoon.
The victim was approached by a group of girls who launched a sustained and vicious attack on her, kicking and punching her to the face and head.
Two of the girls are described as having long, ginger hair in a pony tail and were wearing black jackets.
Police want to speak to a middle-aged female dog walker who alerted two landscape gardeners to the attack.
Anyone with information is asked to call police on 101 or Crimestoppers anonymously on 0800 555 111.
