Teen punches adult in face, experience said to be "upsetting"

From This is Lancashire in the U.K.:

What happens when you don't provide children some extracurricular activities or harmless recreational drugs to keep them occupied/sedated? They end up tearing up flower beds in an effort to make something beautiful ugly. A group of British teenagers did just that, and when a 64-year-old woman attempted to confront the little monsters about the incident, she got sucker-punched for her troubles.

One of the girls, aged around 16, reacted by punching the woman in the face. She was left with a cut under her eye and a swollen face and rushed home to call the police.


The real gem in this story is Sgt. Danny Brophy of the Bolton Police, who is also the lieutenant of stating the obvious in an unnecessarily long, boring fashion.

"This lady has been left extremely shaken by what has happened to her. It was a very upsetting experience. All she was trying to do was to stop these young people stealing flowers from the elderly residents in the area and she was assaulted. This is unacceptable behaviour and I would appeal to anyone in the community who knows who was responsible for this to contact us. These individuals do not deserve to be protected."
