Shocking Pics Of Girls Injuries After Unprovoked Attack In Northern Quarter
Police have released shocking pictures of a woman’s injuries, after she and 2 friends were attacked in the Northern Quarter.
They’ve also sent out a CCTV image of a man they wish to speak to in connection with the unprovoked assault.
A 20-year-old man and two 20-year-old women with serious injuries.
The three friends were walking along Little Lever Street in the Northern Quarter at around 2am on Saturday 17 October 2015, when they were approached by two men.
The men tried to engage the victims in conversation before launching into a brutal and completely unprovoked attack, punching the man to the floor and kicking him to the head.
They also attacked both women, punching them both to the floor and leaving one with serious injuries to her eye and nose.
The first offender is described as black, in his late 20s to early 30s, with short hair and stubble. He was wearing jeans, dark trainers and a distinctive patterned shirt.
There is no description of the second offender.
Constable Avril Gordon said:
"These men subjected a young man and two young women to a vicious attack and left all three requiring treatment for facial injuries.
"So often we see attacks like this one end with more serious consequences, and it is sheer luck that these victims were left with injuries that did not require surgery or substantial stays in hospital.
"One of the women assaulted, Hannah Fryer, was brave enough to ask us to issue a picture of her injuries to demonstrate the severity of this attack.
"The brutal and unprovoked nature of the incident means it is vitally important that we identify and locate the men responsible.
"We have an image of one of the men, and he is wearing quite a distinctive shirt so I hope there is someone out there who can recognise and identify him to us.
"Similarly, if you were in the area at the time of the attack and believe you can assist our investigation, please do not hesitate to contact us."
Anyone with information is asked to call police on 101 quoting incident number 171015/0296 or the independent charity Crimestoppers, anonymously, on 0800 555 111.
