North Wales Police have launched an appeal for witnesses after a 12-year-old child was allegedly assaulted by an adult in Leeswood last night.

The youngster was walking a beagle dog in a field near Dingle Road, Leeswood, at around 9.15pm yesterday (Thursday, August 12th) when he was approached from behind and pushed to the ground.
