    Police in Kirklees are appealing for information after an 18-year-old was seriously assaulted by a group of youths at a skate park.

    The attackers, who had their faces covered, had approached the victim as he was sat with friends and asked for him by name before repeatedly punching and kicking him to the face.

    He was taken to hospital for treatment to facial injuries, including a fractured nose.

    Acting Sergeant Austen Brook, of Kirklees District Rural Patrol, said: "This was a very nasty attack on the victim by a large group of males and the injuries he received could easily have been more serious.
