Police in Bournemouth are investigating after a boy was assaulted - by a man who accused his friend of throwing snap bangers at his car.

The 12 year old was with a mate on Cleveland Road at 5pm last Monday when a turquoise vehicle stopped and the man got out.

It's thought he unsuccessfully chased the boy with the bangers along the road ... then came back and threw the other to the ground, causing him to hurt his elbows and knee.
