Chapman ... left with 'sickening' injuries

A TEENAGER is still struggling to speak after he was left bruised and battered after an unprovoked attack.

Robert Chapman, 16, was punched, kicked and stamped on by two men who stole his mobile phone and cash last Saturday night.

When Robert cried for help, a passer-by noticed but, instead of coming to his aid, he joined in the attack.

Robert is recovering at home in Grangetown, Middlesborough, after the three men left him with a suspected fractured cheek bone, swollen face and eye and cuts and bruises.

His mother, Diane Chapman, 43, said two men on bikes and both in their early 20s approached her son and asked for his mobile phone.

The teenager, who hopes to become an FA football coach, handed it over because he did not want any trouble and they left.

Mrs Chapman said: “They rode away from him but then he heard them come back after him and they shouted 'let’s kill him'.

“They dragged him on to some waste ground and began punching, kicking and stamping on his head.

“A third person came along and Robert asked for help, but he replied ’why should I help you?’ and he joined in as well.

“I just cannot understand why they would do this. It’s sickening.”

Police are investigating the attack, which took place on the Trunk Road, near the Skippers Lane industrial estate, at around 10.15pm.

Detective Sergeant Paul Husband described the injuries as “sickening” and added: “They are amongst the worst I have ever seen and I appeal directly to anyone with any knowledge of the perpetrators of this attack to contact me.”
