AN incident where a four-year-old boy was cycled into is believed to have been an accident.

Just before 4.30pm on Tuesday, police were called to Olive Road after reports that a four-year-old boy had been "assaulted".

It was said that two boys, aged around 12-13-years-old had cycled into him, leaving the four year-old injured.

Although the boys injuries are not thought to be serious, the incident was later thoroughly reviewed.

According to officers, it is now thought that the incident was an accident.

A Hampshire Police spokesperson said: "The incident was thoroughly reviewed and it is believed that this was an unfortunate accident, and not a deliberate act."
