Teen in baseball bat attack
5/12/2007
A TEENAGER was hit with a baseball bat by a robber who then tried to throw him into the canal.
The 16-year-old victim was walking across the canal bridge, near Gorseyfields, Fairfield Road, Droylsden when he was confronted.
The offender ordered the victim to empty his pockets but when he refused he was hit on the head with the bat until he surrendered.
He managed to grab the railings as the offender tried in vain to wrestle him into the canal. Instead he threw his bike in the water and fled.
The robber was white, 18-19, 6ft, slim, wearing a black hood and balaclava, a black tracksuit, black leather gloves and black velcro trainers. He was riding a silver mounatin bike with front suspension and a basket on the back.
Anyone with informationabout the robbery on Saturday at 3.20pm is asked to call police on 856 9357.
