A teenager was left with several injuries after being assaulted and robbed in Bradford.

The incident took place at about 9.15pm on 28 May on Shaftsbury Court, when the victim, a 15-year-old girl, was followed by a maroon coloured vehicle while walking along Pearson Lane.

She ran onto Shaftsbury Court but was followed by the car.

Two men got out and assaulted the victim at knifepoint, stealing property from her handbag. She received injuries in the attack after being forced against a wall, including a head injury.

She managed to break free after fighting back and fled to the Ladyhill Park area where she was able to seek help.

The three suspects have been described as Asian males, between 16 to 20-years-old.

Detective Inspector Damian Simpson of Bradford District CID, said: “We have a number of enquiries ongoing into what is being treated as an isolated, but clearly serious incident which must have been an extremely frightening experience for the victim.

“She suffered several injuries in the incident, in which she showed real bravery in resisting her attackers.

“We need to locate those arrested as soon as possible and I would ask anyone who can identify them or who may have seen what happened to contact us.

“The suspect vehicle was described as a maroon hatchback with silver alloy wheels & tinted windows and I would ask anyone who saw this car in the Pearson Road or Shaftsbury Court areas just prior to or after the attack to also get in touch.”
