The victim, a man in his 40s was airlifted to hospital following an attack by two men near the junction of Manor Road and Park Street at around 5.30pm on Saturday (April 29). His injuries were described as‘serious but not life threatening’.

“I would encourage anyone who was in the area at the time, saw anything which can help our investigation and especially anyone who has CCTV or dash cam footage to contact us or Crimestoppers.”

PC Walter assured those who want to remain anonymous can pass on information without disclosing their identity. He added: “Over the past fortnight we have put serious and violent offenders behind bars for 113 years – and are determined to keep taking robust action against these criminals.”
