An 11-year-old girl was assaulted in Great Yarmouth on Friday night.

Emergency services were called at around 10pm on February 24, after a girl was attacked by an unknown woman near the Marina Centre on Marine Parade.

An ambulance crew was called, after the girl suffered what were described as superficial head injuries, treating her at the scene.

She was not required to be taken to hospital by ambulance and was left in the care of her family.

Great Yarmouth Police have now appealed for witnesses, as the victim only saw the back of her assailant's head in the assault.

The incident was also not caught on CCTV camera.

Anybody with any information regarding the assault is encouraged to contact Great Yarmouth Police on 101, quoting crime reference 36/20941/17.
