Police Step Up Appeal For Help After Teen Bashed At Charlestown

BY IAN CROUCH

Lake Macquarie police have released photos of a man wanted over a savage assault on a teenage boy at Charlestown.

The 16-year-old was sitting with friends outside Charlestown Square at about 4.30pm on Tuesday 27 November 2016 when a man approached and grabbed him by the throat before throwing him onto some chairs.

The stranger then kicked and punched the boy in the face before leaving the area in a silver Toyorta Camry driven by a woman.

The boy spent five days in hospital and had to have two plates inserted in his jaw.

Police have pursed several lines of inquiry but have so far not been able to identify the man or woman and are appealing for information about the pair or vehicle.

Calls to Crime Stoppers (1800 333 000) can remain anonymous and a reward of up to $1000 is being offered for information which leads to an arrest.
