Appeal for information following a serious assault in Newcastle
A man in his 30s was attacked with a bladed weapon last month
Officers have released an image of a man they are looking to trace as they investigate a serious assault on Newcastle.
A man in his 30s was walking with his friends on New Bridge Street, close to Manors Metro Station, when he was approached by an unknown male at around 11.45pm on 23rd October.
The male has then assaulted the victim with a bladed article, leaving him with injuries to his face, neck and chest.
The victim was taken to hospital for treatment of his injuries and later discharged.
A full investigation has been launched by Northumbria Police into the incident, with a number of lines of enquiry carried out.
Today (Saturday), officers have released the image of a man they would like to speak to in connection with the report.
He was in the area at the time the assault took place and officers believe he may be able to assist with enquiries.
Officers are also keen to hear from any witnesses who were in the New Bridge Street area at the time of the incident, as well as those who may have dashcam footage from their vehicles.
The man, or anyone who knows him, and any witnesses should send Northumbria Police a direct message on social media, use the live chat function on the Force website or go to: https://www.northumbria.police.uk/tua/tell-us-about/cor/tell-us-about-existing-case-report/
