A man in his fifties required hospital treatment after what police are describing as an “altercation” with a group of youths.

The man sustained a black eye and bruising to his head, back and abdomen during the incident, which occurred in the alleyway between Christchurch Court and Bridge Street at around 6.15pm last Sunday (January 5, 2019).

Another victim, a teenage boy, sustained some minor injuries including scratches to his throat.

Police are appealing for witnesses to the incident. The group of youths are described as being between 14-years-old and 18-years-old and all were wearing tracksuits.

Investigating officer PC Lucy Henderson-Slater said “I am appealing for anyone who may have witnessed this incident, or who has any information about what happened to please come forward.

“Anyone with information is asked to call police on the non-emergency number 101, or make a report online, quoting reference 43200004673”.

All Oldies All Evening

Your favourite music from the 60s, 70s, 80s and 90s

Spend your evening with us for brilliant memories from four decades of music - the 1960s, 1970s, 1980s and 1990s. Each evening we dig through our massive collection of some of the biggest songs from three fantastic decades. From the 1960s we'll play the songs that were around at the time when England won the World Cup, man stepped on the moon for the first time, Dr Who was first broadcast, and everyone was groovy during the summer of love. From the 1970s it's the tunes that will bring back memories from the period when the sun never stopped shining during that long hot summer, people played with Simon, we went to see movies like Grease and Jaws for the first time, and we boogied at the best discos. From the 1980s we select songs that were around in the era of the first CD players and home computers, the iron lady, the first episode of The Simpsons and the Live Aid concerts. From the 1990s the music will evoke memories of Cool Brittania, Girl Power, Britpop and big puffa jackets. You'll be singing along with your favourite music from four brilliant decades all evening long!
