A ROBBERY was reported in Bordon after police said a teenage boy was threatened by a man as he rode his bike in an alleyway.
A spokesman for Hampshire Constabulary confirmed they received a report of a robbery in Bordon at 9.54am on Thursday, January 30.
They added: “It was reported a 16-year-old boy was threatened by a man as he rode his bike in an alleyway between Hendon Road and Pinehill Road at around 8.15am that day.
“Nothing was reported stolen.”
The teenager’s mum, who asked to remain anonymous, has since warned other parents following the incident.
She told the Herald: “He was told to hand his bike over – he said ‘no’ and the man punched him in his right eye. He managed to get away with his bike, but was unfortunately injured.”
She said it happened while her son was on his way to school.
The man was described by the victim as being “roughly 19 years old, over 6ft with dark hair”.
