He saw three men standing on Inkerman Street and as he continued along the road heading towards Aqueduct Street a man ran past him before stopping directly in front of him.

A further two men then joined him. The teenager was then punched and kicked by the three men who took a Lacoste watch, £10 cash, bank card and a gold iPhone 5S.

The boy has suffered minor injuries to his face as a result of the attack.
