A man may have been left with long-term damage to his vision after being attacked by a teenage boy.

The man, aged in his 60s, was walking his dog on Fulford Mews at 11.30pm on Tuesday (2 July) when the assault happened.

He was punched in the face by a boy who is thought to be aged between 16-18 years old, who was in the company of two other boys.

Following the assault the three boys left the scene on bikes.

The victim required hospital treatment and the injuries sustained may leave him with long-term damage to his vision.

The offender wore a distinctive black T-shirt which had a large white logo on the front, which featured three letters.
