A GANG of vicious yobs surrounded a teenager "like a pack of wolves" and then kicked him in the head and ribs.

The 18-year-old victim - who has asked not to be named - was set upon and robbed in Netley after being surrounded by up to 25 youths.

Eastleigh police appealed for help in tracking down the thugs who stole the victim's wallet after attacking him in the Station Road recreation ground between 10pm and 11pm last Saturday.

The victim, who was returning home after a trip to see Saint's FA Cup final clash at Cardiff's Millennium Stadium with a pal, told the Daily Echo: "As we walked towards Queensview I noticed the lads all starting to surround us like a pack of wolves."
