Man left with head injuries and taken to hospital after Weymouth assault
Officers are appealing for witnesses to come forward
On Tuesday 22nd June, at around 10:45pm, a man was approached by four people and assaulted on The Esplanade near the Kings Statue, by two men from the group.
The group consisted of two young men and two young women, possibly in their late teens. The two offenders have been described as wearing black tracksuits.
The victim, a 38-year-old local man, sustained injuries to his head and was taken to hospital for treatment.
It was reported that after the assault the group walked toward the Premier store.
Police Constable Ryan Lloyd, of Weymouth police, said: "This was an unprovoked attack that left the victim very shaken and confused as he did not know the offenders.
"Since the incident we have made a number of enquiries trying to identify those responsible. I am hoping that there are more witnesses out there who have not yet spoken with police and I would urge them to please come forward.
"I would also like to hear from anyone who may have information about the offenders that could help our investigation."
