A mother was hit in the back with a golf ball as she walked in a Colchester open space.

Police have warned golfers not to play the game in open spaces following the incident at Endsleigh Court Park.

The offender rushed to apologise to the woman, who was walking with her daughter and the son of a friend. But details were not exchanged.

Although she sustained a large bruise, the woman was not seriously injured.
