A teenager is reported to have fallen into a bonfire at Bradley Way in Strabane after he was attacked at the weekend.
Detectives investigating the incident say they received a report just after 10.35pm on Saturday night that the victim was in attendance at a bonfire in the Bradley Way area of the town and was punched. As a result of this, it’s reported he was knocked unconscious and fell into the bonfire. A woman came to his aid and pulled him to safety. The victim was subsequently taken to hospital for treatment of his injuries.
Police have praised the woman who came to his aid, describing the incident as a reckless and dangerous act.
They’re urging anyone who witnessed what occurred to contact them, and are particularly asking anyone who was filming at the bonfire, at around that time, to check their footage as it may have captured what happened.
