Woman threatened with hammer and racially abused by teenager girl in Hampshire park

The incident happened in Aldermoor Park, Southampton between 9.30pm and 10pm on Thursday, May 28.

The victim, a 36-year-old woman, was out walking her dogs in the park with her husband, when they spotted a group of five teenage boys and one teenage girl riding around on a motorbike and a scooter.

Concerned her dogs might get run over, the woman approached the group and spoke to them.

The teenage girl pulled out a hammer from the bike and threatened the woman with it whilst being racially abusive.
