A DISABLED man has been left in hospital after being chased and attacked by youths.
A hunt has been launched after two youths threatened the 41-year-old at 3.30am in an Eastleigh park yesterday.
The man ran off, but was caught by the youths in St Lawrence Road, where it's alleged they punched and kicked him.
The road has been cordoned off by police this morning as they continue to investigate.
A spokesperson for Hampshire Constabulary said the 41-year-old had a disability, but did not outline its nature.
