The sons of a prominent Tory are accused of assaulting a 17-year-old boy until he was rendered unconscious and suffered a cracked skull.
The two were detained at a bus stop in south-east London on suspicion of causing serious bodily injury. They are allegedly in their late teens and early 20s.
After a dispute, the two allegedly assaulted the adolescent in Blackheath at approximately 11.30 p.m. on June 18, fracturing his skull in three places.
The accused victim spent five nights receiving treatment for a brain bleed at the Queen Elizabeth Hospital in Woolwich.
According to police, they have been freed while an investigation is taking place.
The boy and his girlfriend were at a bus stop on their way home from a party when the argument started, a source told The Sun.
He was knocked out after a verbal argument, and when he came to, he was covered in blood.
When they saw his condition, somebody phoned an ambulance.
Another person said, “He was in a dreadful shape and his mother was not in much question that he had been beaten severely.”
Doctors informed her that he had a bleed on the brain and that his skull was cracked in three places.
Two guys, one in his late teens and the other in his 20s, were detained on suspicion of GBH, according to a Metropolitan Police spokeswoman.
They were freed while an investigation was ongoing. There are continuing inquiries.
