Man suffers head injuries following assault in Oakengates
A man suffered head injuries as a result of an assault in Oakengates during the early hours of Saturday morning.
At around 2.15am, a short time after leaving Ice Lounge nightclub, the victim – a 33-year-old man – was making his way across the car park that leads to Canongate with a male friend when they were approached by a group containing a number of men.
The two men were attacked by the group of men and although the victim’s friend suffered only minor injuries, the 33-year-old man was left unconscious on the floor as a result of the attack.
Paramedics were immediately called to the scene and the victim was quickly rushed to hospital in North Staffordshire.
At the present time he remains sedated in ITU while medical staff assess his injuries.
Police are keen to hear from anyone who may have information about this incident and they are investigating the possibility that it could be linked to a disagreement that occurred earlier in the evening in Ice Lounge.
Investigating officers are therefore very keen to hear from anyone who may have seen any earlier incidents in Oakengates too.
