Search for Ilkeston air gun attackers
POLICE are hunting a gang of youths for their part in a racist attack in Kirk Hallam when a man was hit with an airgun pellet.
The incident happened at a bus stop on Ladywood Road at around 11.45am on Saturday when two or three young males shouted racist abuse at a couple who were waiting at the bus stop.
The man was hit on the end of the nose by what is believed to be a BB or pellet gun pellet. The youths, aged between 13 and 16, are described as having short hair with skinny builds.
