Cambridgeshire Constabulary arrested a 16-year-old boy on suspicion of grievous bodily harm without intent; he has been released on bail.

In Chicago, US, a 13-year-old boy was severely beaten while walking to Gately Park. The victim, who is currently at Comer Children's Hospital, suffered brain and facial swelling as well as seizures.
