Teenager assaulted by three men in Gosport

We’re appealing for witnesses after a man was assaulted in Gosport.

At around 10.10pm on Saturday 15 May, the 18-year-old victim was walking along Coombe Road when he was assaulted by three men he did not know at the junction with Albemarle Avenue.

He suffered facial injuries as a result.

One of the men was described as white, average build, aged in his mid 20s, around 5ft 9ins tall with a beard. He was described as wearing a black jumper with the hood up.

Another man was described as skinny, carrying a black man bag that went across his body, and wearing Nike shoes and a jumper with the hood up.

The third man was described as being quite fat and quite tall, wearing a dark grey padded coat with a furry hood which was up. He was also described as wearing dark blue normal fit jeans, and grey Adidas Gazelle shoes which had three dark grey stripes along the side.

We would like to hear from anyone who can help us identify these men, or perhaps saw them in the area around this time.

We are also keen to speak to two individuals who the victim spoke to after the assault as he was walking home, as they may have also seen something. One was described as a man wearing a hoodie and the other was described as a woman with piercings.

Anyone with information is asked to contact police on 101, quoting 44210189055.
