Police are appealing for witnesses after a teenager was assaulted in a Nottingham gym.
The boy was using a machine at Cinderhill Gym in Nottingham when he was approached by a man who reportedly asked to use the equipment he was working on.
The victim was thrown to the floor after the man grabbed him by the throat.
The incident happened around 7pm on 13 May 2026.
Police have carried out lines of inquiry to identify the man, including inquiries with the gym and checking for any CCTV footage.
To help them with their investigation, officers are appealing for anyone who witnessed the incident in the gym to contact them.
PC Aaron Harthill-Harrison, of Nottinghamshire Police, said:
“Violent behaviour of this kind will not be tolerated.
“This incident has caused the victim to lose confidence in going to the gym. Everyone deserves to feel safe when exercising, not to feel apprehensive of other’s actions.”
Anyone who has any information which could help police trace the man responsible is urged to call Nottinghamshire Police on 101, quoting crime occurrence 26000288439, or call Crimestoppers anonymously on 0800 555 111.
