A teenager has been hospitalised after a violent robbery by a group of ten balaclava-wearing thugs in High Wycombe. 

Police say a boy in his teens was walking with his friend on the railway bridge behind the park near Quebec Road when he was attacked. 

The pair were stopped by a group of ten males at around 4pm on Friday (November 15). 

The victim was then grabbed and his bag was taken from him. 

Some of the males searched the bag whilst others assaulted the boy on the floor.
