POLICE are appealing for witnesses after a 15-year-old escaped five attackers.
The Langley Park Secondary School pupil was followed by five black youths along Upper Elmers End Road after leaving a train at Eden Park station.
Two of the youths approached him and demanded his money and mobile phone, threatening him with knives.
They then took him across the road to a bus stop, surrounded him and punched him in the face. He managed to run away.
The two aggressors are about 16 years old and 5ft 7ins. One wore a blue hooded jumper, the other a white jacket and blue hooded fleece. If you have information about the incident at 4.45pm on November 24, call police on 020 8284 8048 or Crimestoppers on 0800 555111.
