Robbers set upon a teenager in what police described as a racially motivated attack.
Detectives today appealed for witnesses or any information about the attack on a 13-year-old boy which happened in Heckmondwike.
Just before 4.30pm on October 21 the unnamed victim, who is Asian, was walking along Quarry Street towards Heckmondwike when he was approached by three teenagers.
The group – two boys and a girl who were white – started to talk to the victim but then attacked him when he refused to carry one of the boys' bags.
He fled, but at the junction of Huddersfield and Halifax Road just minutes later the same group set upon him, leaving the victim with minor injuries.
The first boy was around 5ft 6in tall and wearing a blue Lonsdale top, a blue woolly hat and dark trousers.
The second was around 5ft tall, chubby and wore a black hooded top with the hood up.
The girl was around 5ft 5in tall, had blonde hair in a pony tail and wore a black blazer.
Call police on 01924 295 351 or Crimestoppers in confidence on 0800 555 111.
