Someone struck a 13-year-old boy over the head Wednesday afternoon.

The Williams Lake RCMP say that at about 3 p.m. they received a complaint that the teen was riding his 2010 Kona Shred mountain bike on trails behind Cataline Elementary School, between Blair Street and Midnight Drive.

Two males between the ages of 15 and 20, wearing black clothing, thin black winter gloves, sunglasses, toques and red bandanas around their faces stopped the boy and produced a knife, telling him to get off the bike.

Police say the males then demanded the 13-year old to take off his shoes and, while doing so, he was struck in the back of the head.

Anyone who may have witnessed the event or has information pertaining to this file is asked to contact the Williams Lake RCMP detachment at 250-392-6211 or Crime Stoppers at 1-800-222-TIPS (8477).
