POLICE in Britain are appealing for information on two Irish men after a horse was punched and a girl threatened at a rural farm.
Officers were called to a farm in Gedling, Nottinghamshire last week following reports two men with Irish accents were trespassing on the land.
After entering the farm at around 3.15pm, the two men threatened a girl before one of them punched her horse.
The trespassers involved then left the scene.
One of the men is described as white, aged 30-40 with shaved ginger hair and a ginger beard.
He spoke with an Irish accent and was a white T-shirt and reflective yellow bottoms.
The other man is described as white, about 50-years-old, with dark brown hair.
He also spoke with an Irish accent and had prominent gaps between his teeth.
One of the men left the scene in a white van that had high visibility colouring on it. The other drove away in a red tipper van.
A spokesman for Nottinghamshire Police said: "We also received a report of a man acting suspiciously at the farm at about 2pm on Sunday.
“He arrived in a dark-coloured Nissan Nivara.
"We have increased patrols in the area to provide reassurance to the local community and given security advice to the farm owner."
