Man suffers fractured cheekbone during Wellington attack
Police are appealing for witnesses to come forward after a man suffered a fractured cheekbone following an attack in Telford at the weekend.
The 22 year-old victim was at The Station Hotel in Station Road in Wellington when he was pushed and punched to the ground on the dance floor at around 1.35am on Sunday.
He was then taken outside the premises where a further assault took place. The victim was taken to the Princess Royal Hospital. He suffered a fractured cheekbone and other cuts and bruises.
Police are investigating the matter and are appealing to anyone with information to come forward.
In particular, police are eager to trace witnesses inside and outside of the club.
A Telford Police spokeswoman said: "The assault started inside the premises then spilled out onto the road. There were a number of people both inside the club and outside the club and we would urge those individuals to come forward.
"Following enquiries we have established that there were around 20 to 30 people outside the club and one bystander may have been filming the assault on their phone. We urgently need to speak to these individuals and would ask them to contact us as soon as possible."
Witnesses are urged to contact Police Constable David Minto at Telford Police Station on 0300 333 3000. Alternatively, information can be passed anonymously via Crimestoppers on 0800 555111.
