Witness appeal after serious assault in Mansfield Woodhouse
Detectives investigating a serious assault in Mansfield Woodhouse have appealed for additional witnesses to come forward.
The victim, a 19-year-old man, was left with multiple facial fractures after he was assaulted in Park Hall Road at around 2.30am on April 11.
A 16-year-old boy has since been arrested and is currently on police bail.
As part of their investigation, officers would like to speak to any additional witnesses – in particular a group of young people who may have seen part of what happened.
DC Abbie Roberts, of Nottinghamshire Police, said: “The victim in this case suffered significant injuries which have left him needing surgery.
“We are determined to get him the justice he deserves and have already arrested a suspect.
“We believe, however, that there were additional witnesses to this attack who have yet to come forward.
“It is important they know just how serious this assault was and the impact it has had on the victim.
“So, if you saw or heard what happened please do the right thing and come forward as soon as possible.”
Anyone with information is asked to call 101 quoting incident 26000206145.
