Another arrest has been made after a horrific attack resulted in a teenage boy being rushed to hospital.
A 17-year-old boy was walking with his friends in Friar Street, Reading on Sunday, December 13, when they were approached by two men outside CEX shop.
The boy was reportedly separated from his group of friends by one of the culprits, who eventually stamped on the victim's stomach and face, headbutted him and kicked him too.
The victim sustained serious eye, facial and arm injuries, which required treatment at the Royal Berkshire Hospital.
He has since been discharged.
A small quantity of cash and a bus ticket was stolen during the robbery.
A 15-year-old boy from Reading was arrested on January 5 on suspicion of robbery and remains on police bail until 2 February.
