A man's in hospital with head injuries after being assaulted outside an Oldham nightclub.

The victim, who's in his 20s, was taken to hospital with head injuries, where he remains in a stable condition.

DC Nicole Kelly, of GMP’s Oldham district, said: “Enquiries are ongoing to establish what happened in the minutes before this assault and identify all involved.

“When officers arrived, there were a large number of people in the area. Though we spoke with some of them and are reviewing CCTV from the town centre, I ask anyone with information to contact us.

“This happened at the end of a night out so it’s likely that taxi drivers or designated drivers may have caught something of significance on dash cam footage – if that’s you, I ask that you share it with us or Crimestoppers.”

Anyone with information should contact detectives on 0161 856 8999 or 8891 quoting 417 05/06/22. Information can also be shared anonymously via the independent charity – Crimestoppers on 0800 555 111.
