Police appeal for witnesses to assault

Police are appealing for witnesses and dashcam footage following a serious assault in Macclesfield.

At around 3.10am on Sunday 12 March 2018 a group left the Thirsty Beak in Dukes Court and walked towards Roe Street when one of the men was hit over the head by at least one suspect.

DC Andy Cole said: “The victim, a 33-year-old man, received serious facial injuries which he will need further treatment for. I would urge anyone who was in the area at the time and witnessed the assault to contact me. In particular, a taxi driver stopped and tried to assist the victim – please get in touch so that we can progress with our enquiries and find those responsible for this vicious attack.

“Also, if you were driving along Mill Street or Roe Street around that time and you have dashcam footage that may help, please submit it via our website.”
