They then followed him onto Griffiths Way, near Abbey View Retail Park, where he was assaulted.
One of the attackers is described to be white and was wearing a black rain mac at the time. They are believed to be aged between 13 and 15 and two of them were riding bicycles.
PC Matt Duric, who is investigating, said: “This was a nasty attack, which left the young victim with bruising.
