A teenage boy lost several teeth when he was punched by a man, said police.

The 15-year-old had been walking along Corporation Street in Swindon at about 16:20 GMT on 24 December when he was assaulted.

Wiltshire Police said he slipped as he approached the junction with Lagos Street, outside Baraka Groceries, and made light contact with a parked car.

A man then got out of the silver car and punched him in the face, before driving away.

Police have appealed for anyone who witnessed the incident to contact them.
