Teen hit in the face by a man in Dickson

A teenager suffered minor injuries to his face after being assaulted – possibly with a weapon – by a man outside KFC Dickson on Friday afternoon.

At about 3.40pm a group of school students were outside the KFC when they were approached by a man who allegedly assaulted one of them.

Police say the man, of Caucasian appearance,  was riding an e-bike and was wearing a black jumper with purple trim and a black bum-bag across his chest. He was missing a number of teeth.

Police have not located the alleged offender.

Anyone who knows who this man is should call 1300 333000 or via the Crime Stoppers ACT website.

Seriously, what is the point of arresting these thugs while Canberra runs a catch and release judicial system? I suppose it does keep them off the streets for a few hours.
