Boy aged four battered with brick

A four-year-old boy was left with a fractured skull and part of his ear hanging off after he was battered with a brick on wasteland near his home.
Charlie Davis was found by a couple walking in the area in Hessle, near Hull, East Yorkshire, on Thursday.

He was taken to Hull Royal Infirmary where he had surgery to repair his ear, and was released on Saturday evening.

The attack is thought to have happened just before midday on Thursday, after Charlie went to play with a friend.

A Humberside Police spokeswoman said: "This little boy has suffered a nasty attack and has some horrible injuries."

A scan showed Charlie's brain was not injured in the attack, which happened about 200 metres from his Danes Drive home, on a strip of wasteland next to Station Road close to the Hull-Hessle railway line.
