Two men needed hospital treatment after assault in Cheltenham

Police are appealing for witnesses after two men were assaulted as they walked home from Cheltenham last week.

The men were outside Moon Under the Water on Bath Road at around 3.30am on Friday 27 August, when they were confronted by a man.

The man punched the two victims in what is believed to be an unprovoked attack, resulting in one sustaining a suspected broken nose and the other loosing a tooth and having a possible broken jaw.

Both victims went to hospital for treatment for their injuries and have since been discharged.

A man from Cheltenham was arrested on suspicion of assault and released under investigation. However, officers would like to hear from anyone they have not already spoken to about the incident.
