The band asked for money and empty his pockets and when he tried to run, one pulled out a “lock knife,” his mother said.

The teenager had held his knife and was thrown to the floor.

The band took Nike Jordan’s red and white coaches to the boy from his bag, which were a Christmas gift.

His mother Terry Hankox published details of the incident online and said it was said that there were four or five robberies in the park from Christmas.

She wanted to warn her parents and children, saying, “I don’t want another child to go through it.”

Mom from the big bar said, “He was on his way home with his friend when he was surrounded by a band of about ten young people who asked for money.

“They initially told him, ‘Do you have money? “. He had a debit card, but he had no money, so he said no.

“They went through his pockets. All he had was a baguette.

“When he tried to run, he grabbed a child with his hand. This child grabbed him from behind and put a locking knife in the throat.

“They threw him to the floor, where he was repeatedly kicked.

“They pulled out his Nike Jordan coaches, which he had taken for PE, from his bag. They did not touch his iPad that the school gives to the students. “

Terry said other parents contacted her, saying that their children were also robbed in the park.

She said, “I had a lot of parents to contact me, saying that such things had happened to their children. There are quite a few children in this park.

“Four or five children have been robbed through the park from Christmas. We need video surveillance there – even it discourages one person to do it, it would be worth it. “

It has been said that the responsible group is 12 to 16 years old. Terry said, “All children wore black pants and shoes, which is a uniform. They all had coats. They seem to be from one or two schools.

“Two were covered with their faces. One was not in a school uniform and had gray sweatshirts and a T -shirt. They were all children of school age.

“We are looking to create a street patrol between the hours from 15:30 and 4:30 pm to make sure that our children can pass through this park safely.”

Terry said her son had been “knocked for six”.

She said, “He was absolutely horrified by the loss of his new coaches and I was like,” You’re more important. “
