A man reportedly got out of his car in Louth to assault two 14-year-old boys.
The boys were walking along Wood Lane in the town at around 5pm on October 6 when they say they were assaulted.
Both of the boys were said to be left with minor injuries.
Lincolnshire Police are looking to speak to any witnesses who saw a passenger get out of a silver vehicle to assault the boys.
Anyone who was in the area at the time is being urged to call 101 and quote incident 101 of October 9.

A Lincoln-based photographer has spoken of her love of capturing images of spectacular aircraft flying in the county’s skies.
Claire Hartley’s main photography interests are aviation and nature and several of her pictures have been published, including of the Red Arrows as the sun was low on a winter’s day which featured on the front page of The Times.
In an interview with BBC Look North, Claire said it’s “nice to know that people want to use” her photographs and she picked out to of her personal favourites from her collection.

A photo she took of a Lancaster flying back to Coningsby over Tattershall Castle will always be a favourite, with Claire saying: “That was one of those days where I just sat out in the rain and then just for a split second it came really good just as it passed over the top of the castle.”
She added that her second favourite “is probably one of the Red Arrows” flying in formation.

“It’s not a technically perfect shot, it’s not very good resolution, but it’s the first one for me that took off on social media and that’s kind of the one that made things work for me,” she said.
A group of pupils in Sleaford have represented their school at a recent national track and field event, with four relay runners winning their race and earning the crown of English champions for their age.
On Saturday, July 2, an Inter Girls Athletics team made up of year 9 and 10 students from St George’s Academy in Sleaford, took part in the English Schools Athletics Association Track and Field Cup National Finals in Oxfordshire.
The girls qualified for the event for the first time in the school’s history after winning the regional round comfortably in Derby on June 16.
Heading into the national final they were already the best school for girls’ athletics in the whole North Midlands, and despite difficult conditions they did themselves and their school proud.

Freya Nicol, Maddie Cody, Tegan Thompson and Natasha Doggett are officially the fastest school relay team in the country!
However, it was the relay team of Tegan Thompson, Maddie Cody, Freya Nicol and Natasha Doggett who stole the show – winning their race with an impressive time of 57.2 seconds.
St George’s Academy finished in 11th place out of 13 competing teams, missing out on the top 10 by just 15 points across the board.
In a competition dominated by independent and grammar schools, the performance of St George’s Academy caught the eye as the Lincolnshire-based girls took on, and in some instances beat, some of the best athletes in the entire country.
The girls did fantastically well competing against some of the country’s top young athletes.
Miss Cox, the coach of the team and a PE teacher at St George’s Academy, said: “I am so proud of what the girls have achieved this season and they have been a pleasure to work with!
“Their successes have been as a result of a huge team effort; commitment and dedication to training has been exceptional and the bond and friendship between the girls has driven them to push for more.
“They have become role models to younger year groups and are inspiring the younger teams to be as positive and enthusiastic about Athletics as they are.”
