POLICE are appealing for witnesses to a vicious attack in Lynn in which a man in his late teens to early 20s punched a girl student in the face.
The incident happened as the 16-year-old girl, who has not been named, was walking home along Tennyson Avenue, from the College of West Anglia towards The Walks, between 2.30pm and 2.45pm last Wednesday.
