A teenager lost several teeth after being punched ‘for falling into a car’, police say.

The incident happened in Corporation Street, Swindon, at approximately 4.20pm on Christmas Eve 2022.

The 15-year-old was walking past Baraka Groceries near Lagos Street when he was attacked.

It followed him falling off a kerb and making “light contact” with a parked car. A man exited the vehicle and punched the boy in the face before driving off.

The victim lost several teeth and suffered cuts to his mouth as a result of the assault.

A spokesperson for Wiltshire Police said: “We’d like to hear from any witnesses to the incident or anyone who was passing the area and may have dash cam footage.

“If you can help, call 101 and quote crime reference number 54220134661. Alternatively, call CrimeStoppers anonymously on 0800 555 111.”
