Appeal after man left in hospital after two incidents in Riddings
Police Officers are appealing for information after a man was left hospitalised, and another threatened, during two separate incidents in Riddings.
Both incidents took place in Church Street between around 10.30pm and 11pm yesterday (28 August).
The victim, a man in his 40s was left with serious injuries to his head after being assaulted. He remains in hospital with what are believed to be life-changing injuries.
A second man, who is in his 20s, was assaulted and threatened shortly after the first assault – and it is believed that both incidents were carried out by the same man, who was walking with a blonde-haired woman.
The man is described as being white, in his late 20s or early 30s, with short dark hair and was wearing a black tracksuit jacket and black shorts.
The woman he was walking with is described as being white, in her 30s, with long blonde hair and was wearing light blue jeans.
