Overview
- Aidan Cowie, 15, was attacked in Penkridge after a knock-and-run on Wolverhampton Road and the incident occurred March 26, according to police and his father.
- Staffordshire Police say two men pulled up near the teen and one hit him with a stick, and officers now plan to interview both men as part of the assault inquiry.
- Detectives are asking for CCTV, doorbell or dashcam footage and for callers to ring 101 quoting incident 737 of 26 March or contact Crimestoppers on 0800 555 111.
- The boy went to A&E with a lump on his head, rib pain and scratches, and his family say the ordeal left him anxious about going out.
- The family praise the initial response but say updates have been scarce and they were not given a crime reference number, and they later learned other children had played the same prank at that address.
