Teen banned from city after man attacked

As part of his bail conditions, the boy is banned from entering Gloucester ahead of his court appearance

A 16-year-old boy has been banned from entering a city after an elderly man was assaulted.

The teenager has been charged with assault after a 76-year-old man was attacked in Gloucester on Tuesday. The boy is due to appear at Cheltenham Magistrates' Court on 4 July.

A 15-year-old boy from Gloucester has also been arrested on suspicion of assault and has been released under investigation. It follows a number of reports of anti-social behaviour across the city in the last few weeks, police said.

The force issued a dispersal order which ran until 20:00 BST on Thursday, enabling police to move individuals on from a designated area if they are causing a nuisance.

If the individuals return to the area within 48 hours and refuse to leave, they can be arrested.

As part of his bail conditions, the Wolverhampton teenager has been banned from entering Gloucester ahead of his trial hearing.
