Teenagers jaw broken in street robbery, Leeds.

    A 16-year-old boy suffered a broken jaw when he was attacked in a street robbery in Leeds. 

    The victim was walking home from school along Sycamore Avenue, Halton, Leeds, with a friend between 2.50pm and 3.20pm on Wednesday, January the 11th, when he was approached by a man who demanded his mobile phone. He refused and the suspect punched him twice on the head. 

    The victim suffered a broken jaw that required pinning in two places. 

    The suspect then made off towards Primrose Valley. He was described as mixed race, 6ft tall, aged in his early twenties and of scrawny build. He was wearing black clothing with a black baseball cap and had his hood and cap covering his face. He spoke with a deep Leeds accent. 

    Anyone with any information is asked to contact the police on 101.
