Depends how young the minor is and what the damage is.
If there is no bruising it would be a s39 Common Assault under the Criminal Justice Act 1988, battery by intentionally or recklessly inflicting unlawful personal violence. This is a summary offence and the maximum sentence is 6 month custodial sentence and/or a £5000 dealt with in the Magistrates Court.
If there is bruising, then it would be a s47 Assault Occasioning Actual Bodily Harm under the Offences Against the Person Act 1861, a battery causing bruising, scratching or anything that would affect the health or comfort of the victim. This would be a triable-either way offence and the maximum sentence is 5 years custodial sentence.
If the minor is significantly young, it could be argued that the harm of serious bruising or broken bones can be Causing Grevious Bodily Harm. This was ruled in the case of Bollom. Inflicting Grevious Bodily Harm or Wounding is a s20 offence under the Offences Against the Person Act 1861, which is a triable-either way and again maximum 5 years custodial sentence. If the defendant had specific intent or to resist an arrest they would be indictable under s18, this is life sentence.
