RARE PHOTOS: Schoolboy left with gaping head wound after violent play park attack | Vintage Vibes

The mum of schoolboy left with a gaping head wound after he was attacked in a play park has told how she fears for what type of adults violent youths will become.

Colleen Rae's son Larry, 7, was set upon by a teenage boy while he was playing at the park with his brother near his home in Ferryden in Montrose on Monday.

The thug smashed Larry's head against a metal railing, splitting his scalp open and causing it to pour with blood. He was later rushed to Ninewells Hospital in Dundee to have the wound glued shut by medics.
