13 Year Old Attacked by Adult on Front Street
In a truly alarming incident, a 13 year old student returning home from school was attacked by a grown man on Front Street in broad daylight.
The man, who appeared to be in his early 20′s, punched the 13 year old in his face and knocked him to the ground in an attempt to steal his cell phone at around 3:15pm. After attacking the teen, the assailant then ran away.

Yesterday at 3:15 my 13 year old son was travelling home on the bus into the City of Hamilton. When my son reached his final destination outside the Ferry Terminal he was attacked.
After exiting the bus walking towards the Bank of Bermuda he was punched in the face, knocked to the ground with the assailant trying to steal his cell phone from his pocket.
Fortunately my son was not injured and the assailant did not get the phone.
The Police have been notified and we can only assume that they are investigating the matter.
This is a 13 year old boy being attacked by an adult in the middle of the afternoon on Front Street. What is this island coming to?
