A child whose Barmitzvah present of a bicycle was stolen from under him will be able to replace it, after the public raised £1,000 for him in under a day.

Chezky Worch, 13, had his new bike taken from him in Cheetham Hill, north Manchester, on Monday, despite putting up a brave struggle against the two thieves.

But by Tuesday, an online fundraising campaign set up by his mother Brocho had reached its target, with the total currently standing at £1,280.

Nearly 100 people have contributed to buying the barmitzvah boy a new bicycle.
