LONDON 29 Jun (ANA) - Police are trying to identify the boy who pushed the man into the water and a girl who is accused of attacking a bird in east London on Friday. The youngsters were part of a group of youths that congregated at the canal in Limehouse. A video showed the man arguing with the group after the girl appeared to attack the swan but it is unclear if she actually made contact with it. 

As the man was speaking a boy pushed him from behind and he fell in the water. Superintendent Andy Cox from Metropolitan Police said: ‘Awful viewing. Animal cruelty is an indicator of many other vile behaviours and a tendency towards other forms of violence.  ‘The assault & anti-social behaviour needs our action. Help us by letting us know who these offenders are via 101 or confidentially via crimestoppers.’(ANA)
