A mass brawl erupted at an lawn bowls match after a group of teens launched an attack on terrified pensioners.
The youths invaded the bowling green in Teignmouth, Devon armed with stones and chairs before singling out one of the elderly players who was reportedly then punched in the face.
A 69-year-old man needed hospital treatment for cuts to his face and is now recovering at home.
Shocked witnesses said they had never seen anything like it as the elderly bowls players were left cowering for cover from the vicious and sustained attacks.
