When the teenager and his father retreated to their car, along with two other members of the family, the youths attacked the car until they drove away.

Investigating officer PC Nicholas Duffy said: “This was a very scary ordeal for the family, who were subjected to a totally unprovoked attack.

“We will not stand for this kind of behaviour and I urge anyone who witnessed the assault, or who thinks they may have information which could help the investigation, to get in touch.
