Police are appealing for information after a girl was the victim of what appears to be an unprovoked assault as she walked through Lancaster.

The 15 year old girl was walking along Millennium Bridge at around 8:45pm on the 2nd September when another teenage girl ran up behind her, shouted at her, jumped on her back and pushed her to the floor.

She then kicked and punched the victim in the head and body before running from the scene.

PC Adam Jussub said; “Fortunately, the victim only received minor injuries but I am keen to hear from anyone who may have been in the area at the time and may have witnessed what happened to contact police.”

Anybody with any information can contact police on 101 quoting log number LC-20130902-1453.
