A 17-year old youth was punched in the face after he intervened in a disturbance in the street involving a young woman and a group of young men.

Police say moments after the victim had separated those involved in the disturbance, a car pulled up. The driver got out and punched the victim, causing a split lip.

The car is believed to be a yellow Citroen Saxo, complete with a pink fluffy steering wheel.
