A 13-YEAR-OLD boy was pushed to the ground from behind and assaulted during a robbery in Bradford, police said yesterday.

The teenager was walking from Freshfield Gardens to Cobden Street, Allerton, and was targeted as he approached Gladstone Street.

His light-blue Vans hooded jacket and a small sports bag were stolen during the robbery, which police said happened on December 15 between 9.20pm and 9.40pm.

Police said the boy recalled hearing two male voices while he was on the ground, but that he only caught sight of one of them, who is described as a dark-skinned man wearing a dark blue jacket. The suspects are believed to have ran off along Cobden Street.
