PA

A cancer patient, 8, was allegedly spat at by a group of boys as they waited for a water slide at Thorpe Park.

Surrey Police are hunting the teenagers after the parents of the young girl told them she was targeted because she had a shaved head from her cancer treatment.

The family of four were passing the information desk on the water slides by The Dome on their way out of the park when the assault took place on Sunday 6 June at 6pm.

As they walked away a group of four teenage boys waiting in line on the staircase for a water slide started spitting at them, police said.

The four suspects are described by police as 17-year-old boys, all around 5’8” tall.

The boy who spat on the young girl was described as Mediterranean in apperance, with curly black brown hair and wearing a black t-shirt.

The other boys were described as White. One had short blonde hair and wore a black t-shirt and grey tracksuit bottoms. One was wearing shorts and a t-shirt with a side pouch.

If you witnessed this incident or know anything that can help us identify the boys involved, please get in touch. Please contact Surrey Police, quoting PR/45210059001.
