A TEENAGER suffered a badly broken arm during an alleged assault in West End in the early hours of Saturday morning (22 September).

The incident occurred in the recreation area on Streets Heath, West End Village at around 2am.

The victim, a 17-year-old boy, told officers he was attacked by a bare-chested man in his early 20s who had been with a group of people on a bench near Holy Trinity Church.

The suspect is described as white, about 6'2" to 6'3" tall, of skinny build with very short or shaved hair. He was wearing dark blue jeans and white trainers.

He was in company with a group of other men, one of whom is described as being in his mid 20s, about 5'9" tall, of broad build with a short, dark stubbly beard. He was wearing a black farmer style cap, black jacket, light blue jeans and white trainers.

Detective Constable Clare Nettleton, of Woking CID, said: "This appears to be an isolated incident and we would like to reassure the local community that everything is being done to identify whoever is responsible as quickly as possible.

"The suspect's appearance on the night was quite distinctive so I am appealing for anyone who may have seen him in the area at the relevant time or recognises the description of him to come forward.

"I am particularly keen to speak to anyone who may have been in the group that was at Holy Trinity Church at the time."

Anyone with information is asked to call Surrey Police on 101 or Crimestoppers anonymously on 0800 555111 quoting reference SH/12/3787.
