A gang of teenage thugs attacked two men in Borehamwood during the early hours of Sunday morning in an unprovoked attack.

At around 1am on Sunday March 25 the two men were walking along Brook Road when a gang of 13 white males, aged 17 or 18 years, started punching and kicking them, before running away in the direction of Shenley Road.

The first victim, a 23-year-old from Borehamwood, suffered minor injuries to his jaw. His friend, a 24-year-old from Harrow, suffered cuts and bruises. Both were taken to Barnet General Hospital for treatment, but neither was seriously hurt.

Police are now studying CCTV camera footage of the incident. Anyone with information about the attackers is asked to telephone Borehamwood Crime Desk on 020 8905 1212.
