An efit has been released of a man wanted after a 13 year-old boy was assaulted in Grays.

He was punched and slapped in the face several times by three men on Belmont Road between 6 and 7pm on Monday, January 20. 

The boy was not badly hurt and did not need hospital treatment. 

Senior Investigating Officer, DI Anne Cameron, said: "We want to establish a motive behind this assault and so need to identify and speak with this man as a matter of priority. 

"As well as wanting a name of the man shown in the efit, we are also keen to hear from anyone who saw three black men on Belmont Road or at Grays Beach last Monday evening." 

The man in the efit is described as black, is in his late 20s and was wearing dark jeans and a black woolly hat while his accomplices are of similar description. 

They drove off in a dark BMW which had darkened rear windows.
