Two men were subjected to an assault in Bradley Stoke where the attackers hurled racist abuse and demanded money.

The attack took place on Wednesday on the field next to Patchway Common Pavilion, off the Avenue in Patchway.

Two white teenagers approached to Asian men who were playing cricket and stole their ball, demanding £10 for its return.

The Asian men told the attackers to keep the ball but it was thrown back and hit the neck of one of the victims.

Officers say the second victim was then pushed to the ground before the attackers hurled racist abuse and ran off towards the Bradley Stoke pub.

The first is described as a white male, around 16 years old, 5ft 10ins tall and slim build.

He had light brown medium length hair and was wearing a grey hooded top, blue baseball cap and dark tracksuit bottoms.

The second male is also described as around 16 years old, 5ft 8ins tall and medium build.

He had light brown cropped hair and was clean shaven and was wearing a white sports t-shirt with black letters on the front and black sports type trousers.
