Police are appealing for information after a 15-year-old boy had a tooth knocked out during an assault in Bury St Edmunds.

He was walking along the footpath running from Spring Lane to Beetons Way with friends at around 10:30pm on Saturday (12 April).

A man walking in the opposite direction pushed the boy before punching him in the face, causing his tooth to be knocked out and cuts to his mouth.

The man is described as white, around 5ft 11ins, of skinny build, in his late twenties to early thirties, with facial stubble and wearing jeans and a black hooded top with the hood up.

Anyone who was in the area at the time and have seen this man is asked to call DC Michael Chapman at Bury St Edmunds CID on 101 quoting BU/14/1001 or Crimestoppers on 0800 555 111.
