Police are appealing for witnesses after a man was attacked by a group of Asian men while walking along Park End Street last night.

The 26-year-old man had left the Thirst bar in Park End Street and was crossing over the bridge when he was attacked by four men.

He has been unable to provide a detailed description of the men, but when questioned by police confirmed that a knuckleduster was used in the attack.

The man sustained a broken cheekbone and injuries to his left hand in the attack and will require an operation on his cheekbone once the swelling has gone down.

Anyone with information is urged to contact us via the Police Enquiry Centre on 0845 8 505 505, or contact the charity Crimestoppers anonymously on 0800 555 111.
