TWO friends in a group of five walking home in Carrum with takeaway were knocked to the ground and kicked in the head several times, 9.30pm, Friday 17 March.
Chelsea police said the teenagers were walking along McLeod Rd from Station St when they were approached by three men and two women from Valetta St. One of the group, 19, was singled out by the offenders and punched and kicked to the head causing “significant” facial bruising later needing stitches. When his friend intervened, he, too, was punched and kicked to the head.
The offenders then stole a backpack and fled. Later, two of the female offenders returned the backpack but a wallet and keys were missing.
Police patrolled the area but could not find the attackers. The victim was taken to Frankston Hospital for treatment.
Anyone with information is urged to call Crime Stoppers 1800 333 000.
