South Wales Police are appealing for information following a serious assault on Barry Island earlier this week.
The incident happened on Tuesday, 12 August, at around 7.30pm near the Paget Road car park, when a 15-year-old boy was attacked by a group of males.
Officers say there were people in the area at the time, including drivers who may have dashcam footage that could assist with the investigation.
Detective Inspector Phillip Marchant, of Barry CID, said:
“This was a cowardly and vicious attack by a group of males which could have ended far worse.
What happened Tuesday night in a popular public space will have left people shocked and concerned.
We have footage which emerged online and are checking CCTV cameras. Officers are also patrolling the area during the busy summer months.”
The force is urging anyone with information about the incident to come forward, quoting reference 2500258409.
