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 his friend on Cleveland Road at 5pm last Monday when a turquoise car 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 onto the ground, causing him to hurt his elbows and knee.
