"We are asking anyone in the area at the time which was busy with people shopping, travelling and going to the Christmas market, to get in touch if they saw what happened or saw the suspects before or after the incident.The three men were aged 16-20, while the child was about 10 years old. He was about 5ft tall, of slim build with blonde, mousey brown hair. He was wearing a light grey tracksuit.
