A MAN fell to the floor after snowballs were hurled at him by a dozen teenagers - and was then punched in the face.
A 55-year-old man was attacked with snowballs by a large group of teenage men at the foot and cycle pathway near Stainton Way in Middlesbrough which runs from Marton, through Coulby Newham and Hemlington.
Around 12 males in their mid to late teens threw snowballs at the man, who tried to leave but slipped on the snow and fell to the ground.
When he got back to his feet, he was punched to the face by one of the teenagers and was left with facial injuries.
The incident took place at around 5.30pm on Sunday.
Anyone with information is asked to contact Cleveland Police on the non-emergency number 101 or Crimestoppers anonymously on 0800 555 111.
