Shocking knife attack on children in Doncaster

The papers this morning have been filled with reports of an attack on two young boys in Doncaster. The boys were mugged for around £3 cash, their trainers and mobile phones. The boys were found slashed, burned and robbed - and in deep shock.

One boy is reportedly fighting for his life after sustaining terrible head injuries during the attack, where a brick was reportedly used to beat the boy over the head.

The area is a former mining town and the attacks happened at the site of an abandoned pit. The quarry has attracted negative activity such as dumping, illegal motorbike riding and off-road drivers.

There has been speculation that the attacks may have been gang-related.
