Shropshire teenager knocked unconscious following altercation
A teenager suffered serious facial injuries and was knocked unconscious by another man following a night out in Shropshire.
The 18-year-old victim was with friends in Kidderminster Road, Alveley when an altercation took place between the group and two other men walking past at about 3.20am on New Year's Day.
The victim was struck several times before the two men made off down the road.
Detective Constable Rob Loach, who is investigating the incident, said the main offender was "distinctively tall" and had a shaved head.
The victim suffered two broken cheekbones and cuts and bruises to his face. He was taken to the Princess Royal Hospital for treatment.
"The main offender is described as about 6ft 5in in height, in his mid 20s, with a shaved head and was wearing a T-shirt," said DC Loach.
"The second man was about 5ft 10in in height, was wearing a hooded top and trainers and may have an injury to his eye.
"This was a nasty assault on a young man who had been out celebrating New Year's Eve with his friends and I am keen to hear from anyone who has information about those responsible."
Anyone with information is asked to contact Bridgnorth CID on 101 or the anonymous and independent Crimestoppers charity on 0800 555 111, where operators will not even ask for your name.
