THREE hooded men demanded a 17-year-old boy’s wallet and struck him in the face when he refused to hand it over.

The incident happened at about 8.45pm yesterday, when the boy was walking back from Sainsbury’s supermarket at Heyford Hill, Oxford, across the bridge towards Rose Hill.

He was confronted by three men with scarves over their faces, who demanded his wallet. When the boy refused a scuffle broke out and he was hit in the face.

The three men ran off empty handed across the bridge in the direction of the supermarket’s car park.

Anyone with information should call Det Sgt Kev Parsons on 08458 505505.
