An autistic boy has been left 'very distressed' after three younger boys threw food and drink at him in a park and one urinated on him.

The 17-year-old victim was on his scooter in Hill View Park, Banbury, when three boys - believed to be between 13 and 16 - approached him and started insulting him, police said.

They threw food and a can of drink, which hit him on the head.

One of the boys then climbed on a climbing frame above him and deliberately urinated on his scooter and on his leg.

Police appealed for witnesses to the incident, which happened on Saturday August 26 between midday and 3pm and officers are treating 'extremely seriously'.

The first boy, who urinated on the victim, is the tallest of the three, has short hair, and was wearing a green top and brown trousers.

The second has short blond hair, was wearing glasses and three-quarter length Batman trousers and a top which had an outline of a face on it.

The third suspect was wearing a white top and three-quarter length blue trousers.

Investigating officer PC Sean Allwood, based at Banbury police station, said: “Although the victim was unhurt, this incident was very distressing for him and is being treated extremely seriously.

"I would like to speak to anyone who witnessed the incident or who recognises the description of the offenders."
