Police have appealed for two "good Samaritans" to come forward after they helped a boy who was attacked by youths in Crawley.
The 14-year-old needed treatment for a broken jaw after the unprovoked assault by seven youths.
A couple are thought to have picked the victim up in a dark car and driven him home afterwards and detectives want to speak to them.
The attack happened near the shopping parade in Ifield Drive, Ifield, between 7pm and 7.30pm on Friday April 18.
Police also want to hear from anyone who was in the area at the time.
They should call Detective Constable Howard Bostock of Crawley police on 01293 583823 or 0845 6070999.
