Gang set dogs on naked 16-year-old

A mother has condemned young thugs who robbed and beat her teenage son and left him naked in a park.

David Procter, 16, was forced to strip and hand over jewellery and his mobile phone, before being viciously punched and kicked in the head and body.

His three attackers also set two dogs on him and he was bitten on the ear.

The youngster, who suffers from asthma, was left with serious facial injuries, including a broken nose, fractured cheekbone and broken teeth. A passing motorist draped a blanket around him and took him to Bradford Royal Infirmary for treatment.

David's mother, Julie Procter, said she could not believe what the attackers had done to her son when she saw his injuries in hospital. She said: "It was bad enough David being beaten up and robbed, but then to take all his clothes and leave him there was beyond belief. All they left him with was a little eye stud."

Detectives are investigating the "unusual" incident. Detective Inspector Gerry O'Shea, of Bradford South CID, said: "The stealing of the clothes is quite bizarre and using dogs in the crime is unusual in itself."
