A teenager was the victim of a homophobic attack at a Hampshire music festival.
According to the Southern Daily Echo, an 18-year-old was kicked and verbally assaulted in the attack at the Festibelly event, which was held in Lymington over the weekend.
The attack took place on Friday, on the day that the event got underway.
