A TEENAGER was confronted by a knife-wielding gang member in a park where children were playing.

The 18-year-old was walking home from college when he was asked whether he wanted to buy drugs.

When he refused, one gang member pulled a knife from his pocket and the college student ran away.

Police are appealing for witnesses to the incident, in Felicia Park, Gosport, on December 8 at around 4pm.

The man with the knife was white, aged around 20 with a mohican haircut and a missing tooth.

Anyone with information should call police on 101.
