Part of teen's finger 'taken off' in Baldivis assault

Rockingham Detectives are continuing to investigate a serious assault in Baldivis that saw a 17-year-old boy lose part of his finger.

Police say the teenager was with some friends at a bus stop on Nairn Drive near Clyde Avenue between 4pm and 5pm on Monday, May 6 when they were approached by a group of males.
