Police are appealing for information as they investigate reports of an assault in Douglas last night.

Officers say it happened in the Victoria Street area at around 8.40pm-8.50pm on Wednesday (January 15) after a group of around ten youths have followed the victim from the Thomas Street area towards Fort Street.

The victim has then been assaulted several times and their bicycle has also been damaged during the incident.

Authorities now want to speak to anyone who may have seen what happened or has information on the matter - those who can help are asked to contact Police Headquarters or Crimestoppers anonymously on 0800 555 111.
