Police investigations still continue after a balaclava-clad man assaulted school children over five months ago.

The incident happened at around 8.15am on February 2 by the Premier Store at Castle Hill in Beccles.

A man wearing a balaclava got out of a car passenger seat and assaulted several school children.

On Tuesday, February 28 police interviewed a man aged 19 under caution, but no arrests were made.

Police linked the attack to an earlier incident on January 30, when a motorist drove at a pupil crossing the road near the school.

Suffolk police said the incident "was not random".

On January 30, at around 8.25am the driver of a white VW car drove at speed at a pupil crossing the road in Castle Hill, narrowly missing him.
