Brothers attacked TWO brothers were attacked in the early hours of the morning last weekend in Hounslow as they made their way home.

The attacked happened on the Bath Road in Hounslow on Saturday March 27 at around 1.30am.

The 25 and 27-year-old Asian siblings had been walking along the road towards Way Avenue from Heathrow when they were approached by a group of seven youths.

Without provocation, one of the group suddenly started to attack the brothers and the others then joined in, punching and kicking them.

The suspects then all ran off in different directions leaving the younger brother with a cut lip and nose bleed and the older brother with what was at first suspected to be a fractured cheek, but later it was established that he was lucky to have only sustained severe bruising.

Only one suspect was identified. He was described as a 19 year old Asian male who had short black spiked hair.

Mugged A RESEARCHER making her way home in Chiswick was mugged by a youth on a bike and, despite a valiant struggle, lost her bag with all her belongings in it this week.

The incident happened as the 28 year old woman was walking down Woodstock Road towards the alleyway which leads to Maple Way on Wednesday March 24, just after 7pm.

She had been carrying a hold-all' type bag and told police she remembered hearing a bicycle coming up behind her. The lad on the bicycle then rode up beside her and the thief grabbed at her bag.

The victim bravely held onto her bag and a struggle followed where the youth fell off his bike and into the road. She continued to fight until the suspect shouted "let go you bitch" and pushed the palm of his hand right into her face, forcing her to fall to the ground and release her grip on the bag.

The youth then rode off in the direction of the alleyway taking her bag containing a Motorola mobile phone worth £200, a Radleigh sports bag worth £75, cash and other personal effects.

The suspect was described as a white male around 16 years old and 5ft 5ins tall.
