Appeal for witnesses following serious assault in Gloucester city centre

A man was treated for his injuries at Gloucestershire Royal Hospital

Officers are appealing for witnesses after a man was left with serious injuries following an assault in Gloucester earlier this month.

Police were called at around 3.50am on Friday 1 November with a report than a man had attacked another man in the city centre.

It was reported that a man and woman had left Trilogy Nightclub on Eastgate Street and were walking to the junction of Bruton Way when an unknown male approached them.
