A WOMAN was punched and kicked by a group of teenagers in East Yorkshire.

The incident happened as the 19-year-old victim was walking with friends between the Pike and Heron and Alexandra pubs in the Newbegin area of Hornsea at about 12.30am on Saturday.

The woman and her friends were approached by a group of teenagers, aged between 15 and 19, who began a fight.

As the 19-year-old stepped in to break up the fight she was kicked in the knee by one of the group then further attacked by a teenage male, which left her with a swollen left knee, a cut to her bottom lip and loose bottom teeth.
