An 11-year-old boy was robbed of his scooter after being pushed off it by two moped riders in a shocking street attack in Carlton.
The youngster was riding along Burton Road in Carlton, Nottingham, at around 4.45pm on July 16 when he was approached by two suspects on a moped.
Police said the boy was knocked from his scooter before a member of the public stepped in to help.
But the situation escalated when one of the offenders allegedly brandished a meat cleaver.
The pair then made off with the scooter, heading towards nearby Netherfield.
Detectives have been investigating the robbery and have reviewed CCTV footage from the area as part of their enquiries.
They have now released images of two people they believe may be able to help with the investigation.
Detective Constable David Hanmore, of Nottinghamshire Police, said: “We want to speak to the two individuals pictured so we can take their account.
“While we fully understand the images are not very clear, we believe the distinctive balaclava and top worn by one of them could assist with identification.
“Our young victim was left shaken by what happened to him, so we’d urge anyone with any information or relevant footage to get in touch without delay.”
Anyone with information is asked to call Nottinghamshire Police on 101, quoting incident 576 of July 16, 2026. Information can also be passed anonymously to Crimestoppers on 0800 555 111.
