Dundonald teenagers 'beaten by carloads of men'

Two teenage boys are recovering after being attacked by a group of men in Dundonald. It happened as the boys, aged 13 and 14, walked home from the Ice Bowl along the East Link Road on Saturday night. A father of one of the victims - who wanted to remain anonymous - said three carloads of men pulled up and attacked them at about 22:00 BST. He said his son remembers being knocked to the ground and then kicked and punched. "They got out of the car, about 10 of them, one of them came across in his face and said 'I've been a boxer for 16 years'", he said. "Then one of the guys standing to the side of him punched him clean into the neck which put him down. "Then he said he can't remember how many, he just remembers people punching and kicking at him, that's all he can remember." He said his son did not want to leave his home to go to hospital after the attack, but said he had injuries that needed to be treated. He said he told him the attackers were aged in their mid-20s or early 30s. "I can't work them out, to me they're disgusting, they're yellow - I mean to take on children. I've just contempt for these men," he said.
